WHO has raised alarm over a fast speeding new variant of Covid 19 in UK. The name of this variant is Eris, which is a sub Variant of the deadly omicron. The spread of a new Covid-19 sub-variant in the UK has sparked concern amid all the nearby countries on whether this new wave could lead to the global pandemic resurfacing once again.
While India was not over-dealing with the BF.7 variant, the XBB strain came inevitable. Another sublineage of this strain has put the US on edge XBB 1.5. The first case linked to this subvariant was detected in India on 30 December 2022. Many experts have noted the resistance of the XBB subvariants to antibodies from vaccination and infection as "alarming" at this stage. They have highlighted that most XBB subvariants are more effective at dodging protection from the omicron boosters than the BQ subvariants, which are also highly immune evasive.

The number of Covid-19 cases in India, so far, has not highlighted any concerning trend. According to sources, four cases of BF.7 have been found in the country but there is no such confirmation from the officials. The world was getting used to a new normal with the assumption that covid-19 has ended.

Around the world, when COVID-19's Omicron variant is still the dominant circulating variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus is still evolving into different subvariants, each with its own specific mutations. Let us tell you that a new variant namely XBB variant of Covid 19 is slowly gaining traction worldwide and is increasing Covid 19 cases in some countries. Now what is this new variant XBB, where has it spread? To Know More, Watch Video.

People must continue to follow Covid-appropriate behavior to avoid a surge in cases. Omicron did not create any havoc in India, unlike other countries. To know more, Watch Video.
BA.4.6, a subvariant of the omicron COVID variant which is spreading in the US, It is a descendant of the BA.4 variant of omicron, the subvariant could be recombinant in nature. The subvariant is said to be similar to BA.4 as it carries a mutation- R346T, omicron infections are usually less severe in nature. The same is expected of the subvariant BA.4.6 as well But, omicron subvariants, BA.4.6 is also more transmissible in nature. UK health agency indicated that the subvariant BA.4.6 replicates more quickly.
Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth, especially in public places. Avoid poorly ventilated or crowded spaces. Open windows to improve ventilation indoors. Wash your hands regularly, especially before a meal or after returning home from outside. Get fully vaccinated with the required doses you are eligible for.
