The World Health Organization (WHO) has started an investigation on Eris emanating from the Omicron variant of Corona. At present, WHO has included it in the category of Variant of Interest. It has been learned that since last April till now, a new Eris variant of Corona has been identified in many countries of the world including India, which is known as EG.5.
meeting in geneva
In the meeting held in Geneva on Tuesday, WHO officials said that not much evidence of Eris strain has been revealed so far. That's why it cannot be considered a serious strain at the moment. According to the time, as soon as the evidence comes in front of us, we will keep informing the member countries about it.
Corona came in the year 2019
In fact, at the time of the onset of the corona pandemic in 2019, the WHO placed the variant of the coronavirus under three categories. These include variants of interest, variants of concern, and variants of high-consequence. WHO says that very few cases of EG.5 and its sub-lineage have been reported so far in the world. However, their number is considerable in the UK and the US, while a case was found in India during May last, which also recovered in two days.
need to be careful
The Eris variant, named EG 5.1 by the researchers, was first identified in July. The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised all countries, including the UK, to remain vigilant and follow appropriate COVID behavior. Researchers say that the risk of severe or infectious variants due to ongoing mutations in the virus remains constant, we need to be very careful in this direction.
According to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), EG.5 is a descendant of the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.9.2. The virus with this strain has an additional mutation in the spike protein that gives it the ability to enter human cells and infect more quickly. So far, cases of EG.5 and EG.5.1 have been reported. Last August 7, 7354 genome sequences of EG.5 have been revealed in 51 countries.
