Upsilon Variant
As of December 2021 скоро 50% of patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Upsilon variant.
According to the hospitals during the same week, варијанта Еписилон чинила је више од 80% нових случајева у САД -у. Здравствени стручњаци кажу да је типично да је нови сој вируса заразнији јер често постаје много ефикаснији и лакше се преноси.
In communities with lower vaccination rates, particularly rural areas with limited access to care, the Upsilon variant could be even more damaging. This is already being seen around the world in poorer countries where the COVID-19 vaccine isn’t as accessible. Health experts say the impact could be felt for decades to come.
Преовлађујући сој ЦОВИД-19 вратио је фокус на превенцију.
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.
