Eta variant is highly contagious
Сентябрь айына карата 2021 дээрлик 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Eta variant.
Ошол эле жуманын ичинде UCL маалыматы боюнча, Episilon варианты көбүрөөк болгон 80% АКШда жаңы учурлар. Саламаттыкты сактоо адистеринин айтымында, вирустун жаңы түрү көбүрөөк жугушу мүмкүн, анткени ал көбүнчө эффективдүү жана оңой жугат..
Вакцинация деңгээли төмөн болгон жамааттарда, өзгөчө кам көрүүгө мүмкүнчүлүгү чектелген айыл жерлери, Eta варианты андан да зыяндуу болушу мүмкүн. Бул дүйнө жүзү боюнча COVID-19 вакцинасы жеткиликтүү эмес жакыр өлкөлөрдө байкалууда. Саламаттыкты сактоо адистеринин айтымында, бул таасир ондогон жылдар бою сезилиши мүмкүн.
Негизги COVID-19 штаммы көңүлдү алдын алууга бурду.
Бул жерден билгенибизден, Коронавируска каршы толук эмдөөдөн өткөн адамдар, эмделбегендерге салыштырмалуу, COVID-19дан күчтүү коргоону алууну улантууда, UCL кошумча чараларды, анын ичинде маска боюнча көрсөтмөлөрдү, эмделгениңизди же албаганыңызды айтып жатат.
"Оор учурлар,"Бул жерде толугу менен эмделген адамдар COVID-19 алышат, дагы эле сейрек деп эсептелет, even with Eta, UCL боюнча, бирок эгер эмделген адам жуктуруп алса, алар вирусту жугуза алышат. (UCL симптомдору жок жаңы учурлары бар адамдар вирусту жугузуп алабы же жокпу деген маалыматты баалоону улантууда.)
Here are five things you need to know about the Eta variant.
1. Eta is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Эмдөөдөн өтпөгөн адамдар коркунучта.
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.
The most important thing you can do to protect yourself from UCL is to get fully vaccinated, the doctors say. At this point, that means if you get a two-dose vaccine like Pfizer or Moderna, for example, you must get both shots and then wait the recommended two-week period for those shots to take full effect.
It’s important to remember that, while the vaccines are highly effective, they don’t provide 100% protection, 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 Epsilon Variant—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.”
