Covid 19 Uk Variant

"EG.5.1 was first raised as a signal in monitoring on 3 July 2023 as part of horizon scanning due to increasing reports internationally, particularly in Asia." said UKHSA.

The XE variant of COVID-19 is a recombinant of two sublineages of Omicron - BA.1 and BA.2. So far, the cases have been found only in Britain.

The Deltacron variant of coronavirus was first discovered by a researcher in Cyprus, but was dismissed as "lab error" by other experts. But now, fresh cases have been reported in the UK, raising fresh health concerns.

There are early signs that people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may be able to transmit the Delta variant of the virus as easily as those who have not, scientists at Public Health England (PHE) said on Friday.

Two weeks ago, the delta variant was ripping through the UK, stoking fears of a record wave of Covid-19 clobbering one of the world's most highly vaccinated countries.

UK health officials said the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues its rise in the UK with a further 36,800 cases logged on Friday, which marks a 17 per cent increase over the previous week.

The Delta variant, first reported in India, has already become the dominant strain in the UK and is moving in that direction in the US and other countries
