The new sub-variant of COVID-19, NB.1.8.1, is in the news these days. It is believed that it can infect people on a large scale very quickly. Like the other recent strains, it also belongs to the Omicron family.
Initial data shows that it is spreading rapidly but the infection is not necessarily more severe. This is a matter of relief for the people. Let us know about the new variant in detail?
WHO is keeping an eye on it?
NB.1.8.1 is a new strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It causes COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not classified it as a variant of concern, but health officials are keeping an eye on it due to its rapid spread and potential impact. The WHO last week designated it a Variant Under Monitoring (VUM). Variant under monitoring means when a Covid strain like NB.1.8.1 is declared VUM by WHO, it means that experts have noticed a change in the genetic structure of the virus.
This can affect the spread of the variant, its severity and how well our existing vaccines and treatments will work against it. If a variant is being monitored, it does not mean that the variant is dangerous. It only means that scientists are keeping an eye on it to see if there has been any significant change in it and how big a threat it is to health.
Keep an eye on these symptoms of Covid - Persistent cough - Sore throat - Fatigue - Headache - Loss of appetite - Blurred vision - Nausea - Difficulty concentrating on anything According to a report, some people infected with this variant have complained of low-grade hyperthermia (no fever) for a long time.
Unlike fever, in low-grade hyperthermia, the body temperature remains high but this change is not recorded in the thermometer. This means that the person feels that his body is warmer than normal but it is not a fever. Should you be concerned? NB.1.8.1 is causing a rise in Covid cases but most people have mild infections.
Health officials are emphasizing the need for people who have weak immunity or who already have an illness to get a booster dose of the vaccine. This greatly reduces the risk of serious illness.
What should you do?
Stay updated: Keep an eye on the information released by health officials about the spread of the variant and its impact.
Get vaccinated: If you have weak immunity, take a booster dose of the vaccine to increase protection. Take care of hygiene: Wash hands with soap and wear a mask in a crowded place.
Keep an eye on symptoms: If you experience any symptoms, get a Covid test and follow the guidelines of the health department at the local level.
