Eta variant is highly contagious

A ʻo Kepakemapa hoʻi 2021 ʻaneʻane 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Eta variant.

Wahi a ka UCL i ka pule like, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa Episilon i helu ʻoi aku ma mua o 80% o nā hihia hou i ka US. ʻ expertslelo aku nā loea olakino he mea maʻamau ia no ke kanana hou o ka maʻi hoʻomaʻemaʻe e lele hou aku no ka mea pinepine ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka lawe maʻalahi ʻana..

I nā kaiāulu me nā helu o ka lāʻau lapaʻau haʻahaʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi nā wahi kaiāulu me ka hiki palena ʻole i ka mālama, the Eta variant could be even more damaging. Ke ʻike ʻia nei kēia a puni ka honua i nā ʻāina ʻilihuna kahi e hiki ʻole ai ka lāʻau lapaʻau COVID-19. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea olakino hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka hopena i nā makahiki he hiki mai.

Ua hoʻoliʻiliʻi ka paʻakikī COVID-19 i ka nānā i ka pale ʻana.

Mai ka mea a mākou i ʻike ai i kēia wahi, ʻo ka poʻe i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā lāʻau āpau e kūʻē i ka coronavirus e hoʻomau i ka pale ikaika ʻana mai COVID-19 ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka poʻe ʻaʻole, ʻoiai ke aʻo nei ka UCL i nā hana hoʻomalu e pili ana i nā kulekele mask paha inā ʻoe i vaccine ʻaʻole paha.

"Nā hihia breakthrough,"Kahi e loaʻa ai ka poʻe i hoʻomaʻamaʻa piha ʻia COVID-19, ʻike ʻia he kākaʻikahi, even with Eta, e like me ka UCL, akā inā maʻi ka mea i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻouna i ka maʻi. (Ke hoʻomau nei ka UCL e loiloi i ka ʻike inā hiki i nā poʻe me nā hihia breakthrough i loaʻa ʻole nā ​​hōʻailona ke hoʻolaha i ka maʻi.)

Here are five things you need to know about the Eta variant.

1. Eta is more contagious than the other virus strains.

2. Pilikia ka poʻe i hoʻohana ʻole ʻia i ka vaksine.

3. Eta could lead to ‘hyperlocal outbreaks.’

4. There is still more to learn about Eta Variant.

5. Vaccination is the best protection against Eta Variant.

ʻO ka mea nui e hiki iā ʻoe ke pale aku iā ʻoe iho mai UCL ʻo ia ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka lāʻau āpau, 'ōlelo nā kauka. I kēia manawa, ʻo ia hoʻi inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lāʻau lapaʻau lāʻau ʻelua-dosis e like me Pfizer a me Moderna, o kahi laʻana, pono ʻoe i nā kiʻi ʻelua a laila kali i ke ʻano o ʻelua mau pule i ʻōlelo ʻia no ka hopena o kēlā mau pana.

He mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā, ʻoiai maikaʻi nā lāʻau āpau, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻolako 100% palekana, no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe i ka lāʻau āpau, aia paha he mau hihia holomua hou aku, wahi a ka UCL. ʻOiai e loaʻa ana nā haukapila hihia breakthrough, ke hāʻawi nei nā lāʻau āpau āpau i ka pale ʻoi loa no ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi nui, haukapila a me ka make, 'ōlelo ka' oihana.

Hiki i nā kānaka āpau loa ke hoʻopilikia i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, akā hōʻike pū ka UCL i ka nui o nā mea genetic viral e hōʻemi wikiwiki paha i ka poʻe i kālai ʻia ʻO Epsilon Variant—Pela, ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻia lākou e halihali i ka nui o nā mea hoʻomaʻi i loko o ko lākou ihu a me nā ʻāʻī e like me ka poʻe i hoʻoponopono ʻole ʻia, ua ʻike ʻia kekahi mau noiʻi hiki paha lākou ke hoʻolaha i ka maʻi hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ka manawa liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka poʻe ʻaʻole i hoʻōla ʻia.

Inā ʻoe i lāʻau āpau, he mea nui pū kekahi e ukali i nā kulekele pale UCL e hiki ai i ka poʻe i hana i ka lāʻau ʻaʻa a me nā kānaka ʻole. Ke hoʻomau nei ka hana ʻana i ka bakuna ʻana i nā poʻe hou aku i ka U.S., ke paipai nei ka UCL i nā "papa hana pale pale,”A ʻo ia hoʻi ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i nā pale maka i nā wahi i loko o ka lehulehu i nā wahi o ka lawe nui a kiʻekiʻe paha, inā ʻoe e huakaʻi lāʻau ʻaʻai ʻole. Ua paipai pū ka ʻoihana i ka masking o loko o ka honua no nā kumu āpau, limahana, haumana, a me nā mea kipa i nā kula K-12.

"E like me nā mea āpau i ke ola, He loiloi hoʻomau pilikia kēia,"Wahi a Dr.. Smith. "Inā he lā a ma waho ʻoe e hele ai, kau ʻoe i ka pale maka lā. Inā ʻoe i kahi hui nui, me nā poʻe i hoʻoponopono ʻole ʻia, kau ʻoe i kou pale maka a hoʻomau i ka mamao aku o ka nohona. Inā kuhi ʻole ʻia ʻoe a kūpono i ka lāʻau āpau, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau. ”
