After the lull for almost three years, COVID 19 raised his head again, and although there is no need to panic, some alarming statistics come to the fore.Covid 19, which saw a surge of cases in Singapore and Hong Kong, also made his way to India. According to the news agency PTI, two patients died in Mumbai last week, one of them minors.Both patients suffered from comorbidities along with Covid-19, which greatly disrupted their immunity. Of the two, one patient was a minor (14), who suffered from renal failure with the nephrotic syndrome. The second (54) was a patient with cancer. The Municipal Corporation ThebrihanMumbai (BMC) stated that, despite the fact that the city is observed gradually, the disease still remains endemic (a condition that is regularly found in a certain place or among a particular group of people and difficult to get rid of), and that there is no need to panic.
Renaissance Covid 19 – What do we know so far
According to the “Ministry of Health, Singapore”, the new version is called LF.7 and NB.1.8 (both descendants of the JN.1 variant) and are the main option of Covid-19, which circulates in Singapore, given more than two-thirds of cases locally consistent.
Symptoms associated with the current wave include cough, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, brain fog and conjunctivitis. These symptoms are usually soft, but people are advised to monitor health and seek medical care if necessary.
The vaccine is still your best rate
In order to mitigate the distribution, the Ministry of Health recommends high -risk groups such as the elderly and immunocompanized, and get vaccinations. In addition, the public is recommended to practice standard precautions, including mask in crowded places, regular hand washing and staying at home.
Why a sudden wave?
Experts attribute overstress mainly with the decrease in immunity in the population. Over time, protection against previous infections or vaccinations decreases, which allows the virus to spread easier. This is especially true of high -risk groups such as the elderly, immunocompanized persons and those who have basic health conditions.
