Ukwahluka kweSigma – worrying signs of an emerging new variant of concern from the World Health Organisation that appears to evade vaccine protection.
Omicron ezahlukeneyo – Covid 19 Entsha eyahlukileyo yeNgxaki
Omicron ezahlukeneyo – 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 Uhlobo lweCovid.
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 EyeNkanga 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.
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwi-COVID-19 ibeke kugxino kuthintelo
1. Omicron is more infectious than the other virus strains.
2. Abantu abangafunyanwanga basengozini.
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

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is performed to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. Uvavanyo lufumanisa ubukho bentsholongwane ukuba wosulelekile ngexesha lovavanyo. Uvavanyo lunokwazi ukubona amaqhekeza entsholongwane nasemva kokuba ungasasulelwanga.
Imele ntoni iPCR??
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Ulwenziwa njani uvavanyo lwePCR ekhaya
Ukuba uneempawu ze-coronavirus (COVID-19) kufuneka uzibeke wedwa ngokukhawuleza kwaye ubhukishe uvavanyo lwe-PCR kwiKliniki yabucala yaseHarley Street ekufutshane nawe.
Usenokukwazi ukufumana uvavanyo lwe-PCR oza kulwenza ekhaya, kuxhomekeke ekufumanekeni
Yintoni ekwikhithi yovavanyo lwe-PCR?
Iikiti zovavanyo lwasekhaya ziqulathe:
- iswab
- 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

ETA eyahlukileyo Covid 19 Intsholongwane ye-Corona
Eta variant is highly contagious
Ukusukela ngoSeptemba 2021 phantse 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Eta variant.
Ngokwe-UCL kwakule veki inye, Umahluko we-Episilon ubalwe ngaphezulu kwe- 80% yamatyala amatsha e-U.S. Iingcali zezeMpilo zithi yinto eqhelekileyo ukuba uhlobo olutsha lwentsholongwane luyosasazeka kuba ludla ngokusebenza ngokukuko kwaye lusosulelwe ngokulula..
Kwiindawo ezinamazinga asezantsi okugonya, ngakumbi imimandla yasemaphandleni engafikeleliyo kwinkathalo, the Eta variant could be even more damaging. Oku sele kubonwa kwihlabathi liphela kumazwe ahluphekayo apho iyeza lokugonya le-COVID-19 alifumaneki. Iingcali zezempilo zithi ifuthe linokuvakala kumashumi eminyaka ezayo.
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwi-COVID-19 ibeke kugxino kuthintelo.
Ukusuka kwinto esiyaziyo ngeli nqanaba, Abantu abagonywe ngokupheleleyo i-coronavirus bayaqhubeka nokufumana ukhuseleko olomeleleyo kwi-COVID-19 xa kuthelekiswa nezo, nangona i-UCL icebisa ngezilumkiso ezongezelelweyo kubandakanya izikhokelo zemaski nokuba ugonyiwe okanye awugonywanga.
“Amatyala okuphumelela,”Apho abantu abagonywe ngokupheleleyo bafumana i-COVID-19, zisathathwa njengezinqabile, even with Eta, ngokwe-UCL, kodwa ukuba umntu ogonyiweyo wosulelekile, banokudlulisela intsholongwane. (I-UCL iyaqhubeka nokuvavanya idatha malunga nokuba abantu abanamatyala okuphumelela angenazo iimpawu banokusasaza intsholongwane.)
Here are five things you need to know about the Eta variant.
1. Eta is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Abantu abangafunyanwanga basengozini.
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, batsho oogqirha. Kule ndawo, Oko kuthetha ukuba ufumana iyeza lokuthintela iidosi ezimbini njengePfizer okanye iModerna, umzekelo, Kuya kufuneka ufumane zombini izithonga kwaye ulinde ixesha elicetyiswayo leeveki ezimbini ukuze ezo shoti zisebenze ngokupheleleyo.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula oko, ngelixa izitofu zisebenza kakhulu, ababoneleli 100% ukhuseleko, njengoko abantu abaninzi begonyiwe, kunokubakho amatyala okuphumelela, I-UCL ithi. Ngelixa kukho imeko yokuqhekeka esibhedlele, Onke amayeza okugonya asabonelela ngokhuseleko olugqwesileyo kwizigulo eziqatha, ukulaliswa esibhedlele nokufa, itsho iarhente.
Abantu abagonywe ngokupheleleyo banokosulela abanye, kodwa i-UCL ikwaxela isixa semathiriyeli yemfuza yentsholongwane enokwehla ngokukhawuleza kubantu abagonyelweyo kwi Uhlobo lwe-Epsilon—Ngoko ke, Ngelixa kufunyenwe ukuba baphethe umlinganiselo ofanayo wentsholongwane ezimpumlweni nasemqaleni njengabantu abangagonywanga, uphononongo lufumanise ukuba banokusasaza intsholongwane ixesha elincinci kunalawo angagonywanga.
Nokuba uyagonywa okanye awugonywanga, kukwabalulekile ukulandela izikhokelo zokuthintela i-UCL ezifumanekayo kubantu abagonyelweyo nabangagonyelwanga. Njengoko iinzame ziqhubeka nokugonya abantu abaninzi e-U.S., I-UCL icebisa “ngeendlela zokuthintela ukungcola,”Kwaye oko kubandakanya ukunxiba iimaski zobuso kwiindawo zangaphakathi zikawonke-wonke kwiindawo ezinokusasazeka okukhulu okanye okuphezulu, nokuba ugonyiwe okanye awugonywanga. I-arhente ikwacebise ukufihla ngaphakathi ngaphakathi kubo bonke ootitshala, abasebenzi, abafundi, kunye neendwendwe kwizikolo ze-K-12.
“Njengayo yonke into ebomini, Olu luvavanyo lomngcipheko oluqhubekayo,”Utsho uGqr. Smith. “Ukuba ilanga kwaye uzakuba ngaphandle, unxiba into yokuthambisa elangeni. Ukuba ukwindibano enabantu abaninzi, kunokwenzeka nabantu abangafumananga, ubeka imaski yakho kwaye ugcine ukudideka ekuhlaleni. Ukuba awugonywanga kwaye ufanelekile kwisitofu sokugonya, eyona nto unokuyenza kukugonywa. ”
