Although the Department of Health in Karnataka issued a counseling on Friday, in which people asked people to increase in some countries in some countries after an increase in cases in some countries, an increase in COVID behavior increases.
Experts stated that the emerging subvariants-nb.1.8.1 and the LF.7-Owning of the increase in some countries are descendants of Jn.1, the outsole of the OMICRON BA.2.86 variant. Although it is necessary to be careful, there is no need to worry, they said.
According to data from the Indian genomic consortium SARS-COV-2, one case of nb.1.8.1 was identified in Tamil in April Nadu and four cases of LF.7 were detected in Gujarat in May. The World Health Organization has classified these subvariants as “variants under monitoring” and not as “variants of interest” or “variants of interest”.
Almost no lung involvement
T. Jacob John, professor of clinical retirement virology at Christian Medical College, Vellore, said, unlike Wuhan and Delta, Omicron and all its sub-variants only cause upper respiratory tract infection, with almost no lung involvement, no lung disorder. Mortality is therefore very low, he said.
“Omicron and its subvariants have become endemic everywhere, as well as seasonal influenza. Occasional ascension is expected and one such increase is happening now. If it was not tested in these countries, this increase would be unnoticed,” he said.
Dr. Jacob said there was no need to enforce the mask now, and said it was appropriate for those who visit hospitals and other crowded spots wear a mask. After the label of coughing and maintaining hygiene, it will help to control the spread of the disease. Older, immunocomprime and those with co -morbidities must be particularly careful, he said.
“It is necessary to strengthen and expand the sentinel testing of Ili/Sari and genomic sequencing. The oxygen infrastructure must be reviewed and reserves equal to 10 days at the peak of 2021 should be maintained at any district residence”, “the head of the epidemiologist.
Testing Ili/Sari Cases
The state health department ordered all hospitals to test those who present symptoms of influenza disease (Ili), severe acute respiratory diseases (Sari) and heart problems. This year, Karnataka showed 38 Covida cases and one death. Of these, 32 cases and death come from Bengalur.
Minister of Health Dinesh Gunda Rao said he ordered officials to obtain the required test sets. “We arranged to immediately get 5,000 RT-PCR sets and 5,000 Quick Antigen tests (rats) that would be enough for the Moon,” he said.
