Ngokwe-UCL kwakule veki inye, the Epsilon variant accounted for more than 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 Mu 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 Mu, 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 Mu variant.
1. Mu is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Abantu abangafunyanwanga basengozini.

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. ”
