Nu variant is highly contagious and Infectious
Сега варијанта- in a possible explanation of the rapid spread of the emerging “Nu” variant of the SARS-CoV2 virus, a new study has found this particular variant (B.1.1.529) has a much higher ability to infect and evade the immune response built through previous infections or vaccines.
In a study published in Nature journal, a team of researchers from India and other countries has found that the NU variant (or B.1.1.529 lineage) was eight times more likely to escape immunity gained through AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccines compared to the original virus.
Исто така, the NU variant was six times more likely to re-infect people who have recovered from Covid-19.
Според UCL во текот на истата недела, this new Covid variant accounted for more than 80% на нови случаи во САД. Здравствените експерти велат дека е типично за нов вид на вирус да биде позаразен бидејќи често станува многу поефикасен и лесно се пренесува.
Во заедниците со пониски стапки на вакцинација, особено руралните области со ограничен пристап до грижа, the Nu variant could be even more damaging. Ова веќе се гледа ширум светот во посиромашните земји каде вакцината COVID-19 не е толку достапна. Здравствените експерти велат дека влијанието може да се почувствува со децении.
Доминантниот вид COVID-19 го врати фокусот на превенцијата
1. Nu is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Загрозени се невакцинираните лица.
3. Nu could lead to ‘hyperlocal outbreaks.’
4. There is still more to learn about Nu Variant.
5. Vaccination is the best protection against Nu Variant.
What do we know so far about this new Covid variant?
Of the 59 laboratory-confirmed cases of the new variant, three were in Botswana, two were in Hong Kong among people who had travelled from South Africa, and the rest were confirmed in South Africa.
Се разбира, it is not necessarily time to panic. We simply do not know enough yet about the virulence and transmissibility of this strain. And mutations can work in either direction. But it is further evidence that we cannot assume with Covid that it will naturally evolve to become less potent or simply burn out
