Varianta Sigma – worrying signs of an emerging new variant of concern from the World Health Organisation that appears to evade vaccine protection.
Varianta Omicron – Covid 19 Nova varianta skrbi
Varianta Omicron – This variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are “concerning” stated the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other Covid variante.
The number of cases of this variant appears to be increasing in almost all provinces in South Africa where it was originally identified.
The B.1.1.529 variant was first reported to WHO from South Africa on 24 novembra 2021.
The sudden emergence of a new variant – named omicron by the World Health Organisation (WHO) – has provoked memories back to last winter, when the world was first informed of a new, more transmissible form of the virus, the Delta variant.
Prevladujoči sev COVID-19 se je osredotočil na preprečevanje
1. Omicron is more infectious than the other virus strains.
2. Necepljeni ljudje so ogroženi.
3. The Omicron variant could lead to ‘hyperlocal outbreaks.’
4. There is still more to learn about this Variant.
5. Vaccination is the best protection against the emerging Covid variants
Zasebni testi PCR za Covid-19 so primerni za Fly Travel v tujini
Fit to Fly Test London – PCR tests are being offered by many London Harley Street clinics and medical providers for Covid 19.
Many Harley St Clinics offer Test to Release & PCR tests with a ‘Fit to Fly’ Certificate for international travel and work, with rapid and accurate results.
The tests are normally an in-clinic test that is carried out by a clinician.
If you are intending to travel for leisure, work or educational purposes, then you need a test.
Once the test has been completed and the results are confirmed, you will receive the relevant certificate and a QR code confirming your travel fitness status.
There are different tests you can get to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19). The test you need depends on why you’re getting tested.
The 2 main tests are:
- PCR – mainly for people with symptoms, they’re sent to a lab to be checked
- rapid lateral flow tests – only for people who do not have symptoms, they give a quick result using a device similar to a pregnancy test
What is a PCR test?
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is performed to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. The test detects the presence of a virus if you are infected at the time of the test. The test could also detect fragments of virus even after you are no longer infected.
What does PCR stand for?
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
How to do a PCR test at home
If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) you should isolate immediately and book a PCR test with your nearest private Harley Street Clinic.
You may be able to get a PCR test to do at home, depending on availability
What’s in a PCR test kit?
Home test kits contain:
- a swab
- a vial containing a small amount of liquid – this must remain in the tube
- a clear zip-lock bag with an absorbent pad
- a bag with a QR code
- 3 stickers
- a box
Fit to fly Test London Travel Tests
Covid-19 travel tests are required if you are due to fly abroad. Typically these are Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests.
Please check the list of government approved testers.
How long will it take to get my COVID-19 Test results?
Most people get their result the next day, but it may take up to 3 dnevi. You’ll usually get a text or email with your result when it’s ready. If you use the NHS COVID-19 app, you may also get your result in the app.
How much does a PCR Test Cost?
Costs vary but typically between £60 to £250 depending on the provider that you choose.
Različica ETA Covid 19 Koronavirus
Eta variant is highly contagious
Od septembra 2021 skoraj 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Eta variant.
Po podatkih UCL v istem tednu, različica Episilon je predstavljala več kot 80% novih primerov v ZDA. Zdravstveni strokovnjaki pravijo, da je nov tip virusa bolj nalezljiv, ker pogosto postane veliko učinkovitejši in se zlahka prenaša.
V skupnostih z nižjo stopnjo cepljenja, zlasti podeželska območja z omejenim dostopom do oskrbe, the Eta variant could be even more damaging. To se po svetu že vidi v revnejših državah, kjer cepivo proti COVID-19 ni tako dostopno. Zdravstveni strokovnjaki pravijo, da bi lahko vpliv občutili še desetletja.
Prevladujoči sev COVID-19 se je osredotočil na preprečevanje.
Glede na to, kar na tej točki vemo, ljudje, ki so v celoti cepljeni proti koronavirusu, imajo še naprej močno zaščito pred COVID-19 v primerjavi s tistimi, ki niso, čeprav UCL svetuje dodatne previdnostne ukrepe, vključno s smernicami za maske, ne glede na to, ali ste cepljeni ali ne.
»Prelomni primeri,«, Kjer ljudje, ki so v celoti cepljeni, dobijo COVID-19, še vedno veljajo za redke, even with Eta, po UCL, če pa je okužena cepljena oseba, lahko prenašajo virus. (UCL še naprej ocenjuje podatke o tem, ali lahko ljudje s prebojnimi primeri, ki nimajo simptomov, širijo virus.)
Here are five things you need to know about the Eta variant.
1. Eta is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Necepljeni ljudje so ogroženi.
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, pravijo zdravniki. Na tej točki, to pomeni, če dobite cepivo z dvema odmerkoma, kot sta Pfizer ali Moderna, na primer, Morate dobiti oba posnetka in nato počakati na priporočeno obdobje dveh tednov, da ti posnetki začnejo veljati.
Pomembno je, da se tega spomnite, cepiva pa so zelo učinkovita, ne zagotavljajo 100% zaščite, tako da se cepi več ljudi, prebojnih primerov je lahko več, pravi UCL. Medtem ko je prišlo do prebojnih primerov hospitalizacij, vsa cepiva še vedno zagotavljajo najboljšo zaščito pred hudimi boleznimi, hospitalizacija in smrt, pravi agencija.
Popolnoma cepljeni ljudje lahko okužijo druge, vendar UCL poroča tudi, da se lahko količina virusnega genetskega materiala hitreje zmanjša pri cepljenih ljudeh iz Epsilon varianta- torej, medtem ko je bilo ugotovljeno, da nosijo v nosu in grlu enako količino virusa kot necepljeni ljudje, študije so tudi pokazale, da lahko širijo virus manj časa kot tisti, ki niso cepljeni.
Ne glede na to, ali ste cepljeni ali ne, Pomembno je tudi upoštevati smernice za preprečevanje UCL, ki so na voljo cepljenim in necepljenim ljudem. Ker se prizadevanja za cepljenje vse več ljudi v ZDA, UCL priporoča »večplastne strategije preprečevanja,”In to vključuje nošenje mask za obraz v javnih prostorih v zaprtih prostorih na območjih z znatnim ali visokim prenosom, ali ste cepljeni ali ne. Agencija je vsem učiteljem priporočila tudi univerzalno maskiranje v zaprtih prostorih, osebje, študentov, in obiskovalci šol K-12.
"Kot vse v življenju, to je stalna ocena tveganja,«Pravi dr. Smith. »Če bo sončno in boste na prostem, naneseš kremo za sončenje. Če ste na gneči, potencialno z necepljenimi ljudmi, oblečete si masko in se držite socialne distancije. Če niste cepljeni in ste upravičeni do cepiva, najboljše kar lahko narediš je cepljenje. "
