Global Covid cases up 80% as new subvariant rises
- The Eris variant, also known as EG.5, is causing an increase in COVID-19 cases nationwide, with cases rising particularly in the Western Pacific region. However, patients infected with this variant are not experiencing as severe symptoms as previous waves, likely due to prior immunity from previous infections and vaccinations.
- The Eris variant is a sub-variant of the Omicron variant and is considered a "variant of interest" by the World Health Organization . While it is more transmissible and has the ability to evade immunity, it poses a low risk to global public health and does not cause more severe symptoms.
