Mu variant is highly contagious

As of September 2021 nearly 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Mu variant.

នេះ​បើ​តាម​ UCL ក្នុង​សប្តាហ៍​ដដែល​, the Epsilon variant accounted for more than 80% នៃករណីថ្មីនៅសហរដ្ឋអាមេរិក. អ្នកជំនាញផ្នែកសុខភាពនិយាយថា វាជារឿងធម្មតាសម្រាប់មេរោគប្រភេទថ្មី ដែលអាចចម្លងបានកាន់តែច្រើន ព្រោះវាច្រើនតែមានប្រសិទ្ធភាព និងងាយឆ្លង។.

នៅក្នុងសហគមន៍ដែលមានអត្រាចាក់វ៉ាក់សាំងទាបជាង, ជាពិសេសតំបន់ជនបទដែលមានលទ្ធភាពទទួលបានការថែទាំមានកម្រិត, the Mu variant could be even more damaging. នេះ​ត្រូវ​បាន​គេ​មើល​ឃើញ​ហើយ​ជុំវិញ​ពិភពលោក​ក្នុង​ប្រទេស​ក្រីក្រ​ដែល​វ៉ាក់សាំង​កូវីដ-១៩ មិន​អាច​ប្រើ​បាន​ដូច​ជា. អ្នក​ជំនាញ​ផ្នែក​សុខភាព​និយាយ​ថា​ផល​ប៉ះពាល់​អាច​ត្រូវ​បាន​ទទួល​បាន​សម្រាប់​រាប់​ទសវត្សរ៍​ខាង​មុខ.

មេរោគកូវីដ-១៩ ដែលកំពុងរីករាលដាលបានផ្តោតការយកចិត្តទុកដាក់ឡើងវិញលើការការពារ.

From what we know at this point, people who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus continue to have strong protection against COVID-19 compared to those who aren’t, although the UCL is advising additional precautions including mask guidelines whether you are vaccinated or not.

“Breakthrough cases,” where people who are fully vaccinated get COVID-19, are still considered rare, even with Mu, according to the UCL, but if a vaccinated person is infected, they can transmit the virus. (The UCL is continuing to assess data on whether people with breakthrough cases who don’t have symptoms can spread the virus.)

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

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

2. មនុស្សដែលមិនបានចាក់វ៉ាក់សាំងមានហានិភ័យ.

3. Mu could lead to ‘hyperlocal outbreaks.’

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

5. Vaccination is the best protection against Mu Variant.

 

The most important thing you can do to protect yourself from Mu Variant is to get fully vaccinated, វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតនិយាយ. ត្រង់ចំណុចនេះ, នោះមានន័យថាប្រសិនបើអ្នកទទួលវ៉ាក់សាំងពីរដូសដូចជាភីហ្វឺរឬម៉ូឌែរណា, ឧទាហរណ៍, អ្នកត្រូវតែទទួលការបាញ់ប្រហារទាំងពីរហើយបន្ទាប់មករង់ចាំរយៈពេលពីរសប្តាហ៍ដែលបានណែនាំដើម្បីឱ្យការបាញ់ប្រហារទាំងនោះមានប្រសិទ្ធភាព.

វាសំខាន់ក្នុងការចងចាំរឿងនោះ, ខណៈពេលដែលវ៉ាក់សាំងមានប្រសិទ្ធភាពខ្ពស់, ពួកគេមិនផ្តល់ 100% ការការពារ, so as more people are vaccinated, there may be more breakthrough cases, the UCL says. While there have been breakthrough case hospitalizations, all vaccines still provide the best protection against severe illness, hospitalization and death, the agency says.

Fully vaccinated people can infect others, but the UCL also reports the amount of viral genetic material may decrease faster in vaccinated people from the វ៉ារ្យ៉ង់ Epsilon—so, while they have been found to carry the same amount of virus in their noses and throats as unvaccinated people, studies have also found they may spread virus for less time than those who are not vaccinated.

Whether or not you are vaccinated, it’s also important to follow UCL prevention guidelines that are available for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. As efforts continue to vaccinate more people in the U.S., the UCL is recommending “layered prevention strategies,” and that includes wearing face masks in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission, whether or not you are vaccinated. The agency has also recommended universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools.

“Like everything in life, this is an ongoing risk assessment,” says Dr. Smith. “If it is sunny and you’ll be outdoors, you put on sunscreen. If you are in a crowded gathering, potentially with unvaccinated people, you put your mask on and keep social distancing. If you are unvaccinated and eligible for the vaccine, the best thing you can do is to get vaccinated.”
