United Kingdom-London-January 9, 2023

It was not long before the world woke up to the effects of the mutant "Omicron" because of its rapid spread

However, infections of the "covid-19" disease have returned to the rise in the world, while a number of health experts say that there are no indications yet that it is more deadly, or that the currently available vaccines are unable to cope with it.

In Britain, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that the coronavirus infection rate rose to its highest level in 6 months, during the post-Christmas period.

This subtype of Omicron was detected and named "XBB.1.5", the first time, in India, it is the fastest mobile infection of the virus scientifically known as" SARS-CoV-2 " to date.

The British scientist and researcher in epidemiology, Tim Spector, stresses the need to monitor this sub-variant, in order to monitor the resulting health consequences.

Several countries, including the United States, Britain and India, have imposed negative Corona tests for those coming from China, due to the high incidence in the Asian country, which has been imposing a "zero covid" policy since 2020, and then abandoned it recently.

According to the public health authority in Britain, infection with this variant of "Omicron" is accompanied by a number of symptoms.

Experts say that this mutant has symptoms similar to what a person shows when he has a cold:

High body temperature and a feeling of some kind of trembling.

Persistent cough.

Changes in the senses of smell and taste.

Feeling tired.

The body itches.

A headache.

A sore throat.
