According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a new and infectious Covid-19 strain that has surged in China has been found in the United States.
The new NB.1.81 deformation was first discovered in the United States among international travelers who arrived at the airports of California, Washington, Virginia and New York City in late March and early April, and additional incidents in Ohio, Road Island and Hawaii.
The CDC says there are too few cases in the US’s modification estimates in the US, but experts show that viruses in China are faster than other dominant strains of respiratory infections.
Experts have been closely tracking NB.1.8.1 deformation in China this year, and have surged throughout Asia.
The Hong Kong authorities said that the COVID-19 cases surged in at least one year after the officials announced their “significant increase” in the emergency room visits and hospitalization last month.
This included 81 serious cases, including 30 deaths over the last four weeks. In the majority, adults were over 65 years old.
In the mainland of China, some of the patients who went to the emergency room with COVID increased more than doubled from 7.5% to 16% last month, the public health authorities said. The state -owned China daily daily part of China’s Kobad Hospital has doubled more than 6%.
Despite statistics, the government, which is controlled by Hong Kong’s Beijing, has neglected this transformation.
Dr. Amy Edwards, a professor of pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University, said, “China, Hong Kong, and other areas where the transformation are actually soaring are increasing. I told CBS News.
According to CDC’s airport test, travelers traveled by travelers traveling through China, Japan, Korea, France, Thailand, the Netherlands, Spain, Vietnam and Taiwan have shown the spread of viruses.
Like other types of Covid-19, the deformation can cause cough, throat, heat and fatigue.
However, Subhash Verma, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Nevada, pointed out that a new transformation suggests that it seems to be growth and can spread more easily.
“In other words, it is more infectious.” She told CBS News.
Verma and Edwards both said that strains are at least not more serious.
Dr. Edwin TSUI, head of the Hong Kong Health Protection Center (CHP), said the new variant “should not be taken lightly.” The world’s health officials and others around the world warned that viruses could have evolved to further develop the protection of covid vaccines.
“CHP will closely monitor the situation of the deformed strain according to the recommendation of the World Health Organization, and will pay attention to the possibility of the virus’s more malicious or vaccine disagreement strain in the future.” He said in the statement.
The Trump administration warns when the annual booster vaccine is announced to limit the elderly and other high -risk groups.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it would no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women to receive Covid-19 JAB on Tuesday.
