Shock Covid 警告: Ultra-catchy 'Nimbus' variant could 誘発する/引き起こす summer wave まっただ中に 97 per cent 感染 殺到する
A new 高度に contagious Covid variant could 誘発する a wave of 感染s this summer, scientists have 警告するd.
Dubbed 'Nimbus', the 緊張する is descended from the already 最高の virulent Omicron and has already 誘発する/引き起こすd a 殺到する in 事例/患者s in?中国, Singapore and Hong Kong.?
Data from the UK Health 安全 機関 (UKHSA) also shows 13 事例/患者s of Nimbus, known scientifically as N.B.1.8.1, have already been (悪事,秘密などを)発見するd in England.?
And 25 British 見本s of the 緊張する have been submitted to an international Covid database since the end of March.?
However, both 人物/姿/数字s are likely an underestimation of how far the variant has spread given how 実験(する)ing has been massively 減ずるd from the 高さ of the pandemic.?
Other UKHSA data show the 百分率 of people 実験(する)ing 肯定的な for Covid has risen to its highest point this year, and is already 97 per cent higher than the level 記録,記録的な/記録するd in March.
Now, British scientists have 警告するd Nimbus could lead to a 殺到する in Covid 事例/患者s in a 事柄 of week s, and have 勧めるd the 攻撃を受けやすい to get vaccinated.
They 警告する that many people's 免疫 to the ウイルス, built up from previous 感染s and older jabs, has likely faded meaning they could be at higher 危険 of 落ちるing ill.?
Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, said Nimbus had the 可能性のある to 運動 a 殺到する in 事例/患者s as the 天候 warms up and people become more sociable.
'We are very likely to see a spike of 感染s over the next couple of months, かもしれない by later this month or in July. But it’s difficult to 予報する the level of this 感染 wave,' he told The i Paper.
'全住民 免疫, either from ワクチン接種 or previous 感染, is 病弱なing and, unlike other respiratory ウイルスs such as flu, the Covid ウイルス continues to spread in hot and 湿気の多い 天候,' he said.?
He 追加するd lab 熟考する/考慮するs 示唆する Nimbus can 感染させる human 独房s more efficiently than previous 緊張するs, and that it may have 増加するd ability to dodge the 免疫の system, making it more likely to 感染させる people.
There is 現在/一般に no 証拠 that the 緊張する is more likely to 原因(となる) 厳しい illness or death in those it 感染させるs, compared to previous 緊張するs.?
However,? 感染 with the ウイルス can still be deadly for more 攻撃を受けやすい groups.?
Covid was a factor in the deaths of just over 300 people in England in May, によれば the 最新の 公式の/役人 人物/姿/数字s.?
Nimbus now accounts for 10.7 per cent of Covid 感染s 世界的な, によれば the World Health Organisation (世界保健機構), compared to just 2.5 per cent a month 事前の.?

Symptoms of Nimbus do not appear to 異なる from other Covid variants and 含む 疲労,(軍の)雑役, fever, muscle ache and a sore throat?
Last month the UN-団体/死体 宣言するd the 緊張する a 'variant under 監視するing'.
This means that the 世界保健機構 is 跡をつけるing the ウイルス, watching for 調印するs it could 提起する/ポーズをとる a 重要な 脅し to the public which would 促進する it to a 'variant of 関心'.?
専門家s have also said that 現在の Covid ワクチンs, which have been reformulated to 戦闘 Omicron 子孫s, are 推定する/予想するd to remain 効果的な against Nimbus.?
Symptoms of Nimbus do not appear to 異なる from other Covid variants and 含む 疲労,(軍の)雑役, fever, muscle ache and a sore throat.?
UKHSA data on Covid 実験(する)s, which goes up to June 1, show 6.1 per cent of the people who were 実験(する)d that week were 肯定的な for the ウイルス, the highest 人物/姿/数字 for 2025 so far.?
This is a seven per cent rise from last week's 人物/姿/数字 and a 97 per cent 増加する from that 記録,記録的な/記録するd at the beginning of March.?
Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, UKHSA's 副 director, said the organisation was keeping a の近くに 注目する,もくろむ on Nimbus.
'UKHSA is 監視するing all 利用できる data relating to SARS-CoV-2 variants in the UK and abroad, and we continue to publish our findings in our 正規の/正選手 Flu and Covid-19 監視 報告(する)/憶測s,' she said.?
'NB.1.8.1 has been (悪事,秘密などを)発見するd in small numbers in the UK to date, but international data 示唆するs that it is growing as a 割合 of all Covid-19 事例/患者s.'
現在/一般に adults over the age of 75, care home 居住(者)s staff 同様に as people with a 弱めるd 免疫の system are 適格の for a 解放する/自由な Covid ワクチン?in Britain.?
UKHSA data 示唆するs people who had a Covid jab as part of last spring's booster (選挙などの)運動をする were 45 per cent いっそう少なく likely to need hospital care for the ウイルス in the weeks that followed compared to the unvaccinated.
The 機関 has 勧めるd all people 適格の for a ワクチン to get jabbed to 保護する themselves from both NB.1.8.1 and Covid in general.?
