Omicron Coronavirus

Scientists have warned that a "more contagious" variant of Covid-19, dubbed XEC, is spreading more rapidly across Europe and could soon become the dominant strain.

Scientists at the institute have developed a new nanovaccine that shows promise in providing universal protection against all major Covid-19 variants.

Eris or EG.5.1 was classified as a Covid variant on July 31 after UKHSA recorded its prevalence in the country due to rising cases internationally, particularly in Asia.

Unhealthy diets with low nutrient content can negatively impact the immune system's function. Thus, you should make dietary choices that support overall health.

Kerala Health Minister George said, "The positive cases are increasing in the state and hence an alert has been issued. It has been found that Omicron is spreading in the state and the samples have been sent for genomic sequencing."

Omicron and its sub-lineages continue to be the dominant coronavirus variants in India, Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar told the Lok Sabha on Friday.

Four cases of Omicron subvariant BF.7 were detected in West Bengal, a health official said on Wednesday.

The statement comes at a time when the ongoing conflict in Ukraine shows no signs of abating after more than 10 months, with spiralling inflation, higher interest rates and the surge in coronavirus infections in China fuelled by the Omicron variant.

Fifty to 70 per cent "children" below 19 years globally were susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 infection by the end of 2021 and before the Omicron wave, showing a need for more effective vaccines and better vaccination coverage, according to a study.

Just when the world was starting to believe that the novel coronavirus pandemic, the deadly new Omicron BF.7 strain reinforced the home truth that the world has certainly not seen the last of the pandemic.

2022 saw a new wave of infections driven by the Omicron variant of coronavirus which ultimately subsided, putting India along with the world on the route to normalcy before fresh concerns arose amid rise in cases globally at the fag end of the year.

Four foreign nationals have tested positive following RTPCR tests at Bihar's Gaya Airport and have been kept in isolation at a hotel.

Nearly 37 million people in China may have been infected with Covid-19 on a single day this week, according to estimates from the government's top health authority, making the country's outbreak by far the world's largest.

Allaying fears about BF.7 variant of coronavirus, a prominent scientist on Friday said it is a sub-variant of Omicron strain and that India need not worry too much about its severity on the population.

Rising Covid cases in China are mainly driven by the BF.7 strain of Omicron variant of coronavirus, which has been detected in India too. Numbers may be small but here is why the government is worried, and what you should be alert to.
