Warning of increased number of Covid-19 cases due to new variant

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning about the increasing trend of Covid-19 cases related to the new variant NB.1.8.1.

While confirming that NB.1.8.1 does not pose a greater health risk than previous variants, WHO notes that the virus is constantly mutating, which could lead to new waves of infection.

WHO also confirmed that the current increasing trend of Covid-19 cases is consistent with the seasonal pattern of the virus.

The need for hospitalization or intensive care remains limited thanks to herd immunity and widespread vaccination coverage.

However, the UN health agency classified the overall global risk from Covid-19 as "high", calling on countries to strengthen health surveillance, integrate Covid-19 into seasonal respiratory disease prevention strategies, prevent misinformation and encourage people to follow precautions to stay safe.
