New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed the possibility of a new wave of coronavirus infection again in the whole world. It is a matter of relief that the death toll in the new wave of Covid-19 can be very low. WHO has considered Omicron’s new subvariant XBB.1.5 as the most infectious form so far. Every other week the number of people infected with it is doubling. WHO has considered North-East America to be most affected by XBB.1.5 subvariant. The World Health Organization has also expressed concern over the rapid spread of the XBB.1.5 subvariant in North-East America. In terms of corona infection, China also remains a threat to the whole world.
WHO officials said that Omicron’s new subvariant XBB.1.5 is the most rapidly spreading form of corona so far. WHO currently does not have any data regarding the severity of this subvariant. So far, there are no indications that it is capable of making the infected sicker than the previously found subvariants. At present, the spread of XBB.1.5 is increasing in America. Its rapid spread in America has worried the health organization. Experts say that the number of XBB.1.5 infected is doubling almost every other week. Maria told that this virus sticks exceptionally to the cells, which helps it to mutate easily.
XBB.1.5 infected in 29 countries
WHO’s Maria Van told that currently people infected with XBB.1.5 subvariant have been found in 29 countries. He has expressed the possibility of spreading it to other countries. Along with this, he also told that due to the slow pace of genome sequencing worldwide, it has become difficult to gather information about other variants of Covid-19. There is not enough information yet about the severity of XBB.1.5. WHO experts are trying to find out its seriousness.
Fear of new wave of corona infection
WHO’s Maria Van said that the more the XBB.1.5 subvariant is spreading, the more it is likely to change. Maria may bring a new wave of corona infection to the world, but this time a large number of people will not die. Giving the reason for this, he said that this time the process of dealing with Corona is also going on so that people can be saved from going to death. Please tell that at this time China remains a threat to the whole world.
