US EditionNew Covid Strain Found in UK and 'Under Monitoring' - Signs You Need to Look Out For
- British scientists warned this summer that the Omicron subvariant Nimbus could trigger a new COVID-19 wave in the UK and globally.
- Nimbus was first detected in January and has spread rapidly due to waning immunity and increased social gatherings, though case numbers are likely underreported because of reduced testing.
- The variant now represents 10.7% of COVID-19 cases globally, increasing from 2.5% just one month prior, and has been detected in approximately 22 countries, including the UK, China, the US, and several nations in Asia.
- Laboratory research indicates that Nimbus attaches to human cells more effectively and may partly evade immune defenses; however, specialists emphasize that there is currently no indication it leads to more serious illness.
- Health authorities urge eligible people to get vaccinated and recommend staying home and limiting contact if symptomatic to reduce transmission risks this summer.
