Emerging from South Africa, the new type of corona, Omicron, has so far spread to more than 14 countries.
The World Health Organization did not elaborate on the symptoms and acknowledged that the status of the virus is uncertain, but it is not yet clear which vaccine is effective against it.
Cases of the virus are on the rise and the epidemic could take a new dangerous turn because its prevalence is higher than other types, which could put pressure on the health system, especially in countries where vaccination is needed. The rate is low.
So far no case of hospitalization or death of a person infected with Omicron has been reported.
South African doctors say the virus has a low severity factor, with symptoms such as headaches and fatigue, which German experts say could be a Christmas present if it has mild symptoms. It can also cause epidemics.
Omicron cod can make the vaccine 40% less effective, so a booster shot is necessary. Scientists have long warned that it is unlikely to eradicate the corona virus from the world, but it will turn into a mild cold virus. ۔
Experts will be able to form a final opinion on this new type of Corona in two weeks. Because scientists want to know how alarming changes to omecron can make it more contagious than delta and how resistant it will be to the vaccine.
Vaccine companies are already working on the modarna and pfizer to deal with the Omicron type. She will develop a vaccine for this by the middle of next year. Experts are worried about this new type because they think it is the worst form so far, they are worried about the changes that are taking place in it.
The risk of re-infection is higher in this new strain because of the significant changes in the genetic makeup of the virus. The spike protein in the virus that the vaccine targets looks very different, has 32 genetic mutations that are twice as large as the delta, so the body's immune system can fight to recognize and fight it.
It also includes mutations in the delta variant that allow it to spread more easily, which means that the species can infect more but have less severity or lethality, meaning that respiratory viruses often adopt a similar approach. Are
On the plus side, it eliminates unhealthy sugary foods from the body's immune system.
Countries where Omekron cases have been reported include South Africa, the Czech Republic, France, Australia, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, Hong Kong, Botswana, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Portugal, Ireland and the Netherlands. It is feared that the Portuguese footballer has also been diagnosed with Omekron.
Experts believe that this type of virus has already reached the United States. The first case of Kode's Omekron type was uploaded on November 23 by Hong Kong to the International Variant Database GISAID.
The man was coming from South Africa to Hong Kong.
