Moet mense bekommerd wees oor die nuwe golwe van Omicron se BA.5-subvariant in die noordelike halfrond en Latyns-Amerika?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens dr. Christopher J.L. Murray, \u2019n navorser van Washington en die direkteur van die Instituut vir Gesondheidsmetrieke en -evaluering, dui navorsing daarop dat die nuutste golwe van uitbreking ongeveer vier tot ses weke duur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navorsing toon dat die styging in voorkoms van die nuutste variant toegeskryf kan word aan die feit dat mense nou baie meer reis, minder masker dra, asook die aansteeklikheid van BA.5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die goeie nuus is dat Suid-Afrika volgens alle aanduidings reeds deur die golf van die BA.5-subvariant van die Omicron-virus is, en inderwaarheid een van die eerste lande was wat daardeur is. Suid-Afrika het tussen April en Junie vanjaar \u2019n gekombineerde BA.4- (nog \u2019n Omicron-subvariant) en BA.5-golf ervaar, waar gevalle vinniger toegeneem het as die vorige Omicron-variant-golf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die W\u00eareldgesondheidsorganisasie se mees onlangse verslag is di\u00e9 variant verantwoordelik vir 52% van die gevalle wat aan die einde van Junie aangeteken is. In die Verenigde State word beraam dat dit sowat 78% van infeksies veroorsaak, aldus die Amerikaanse Centres for Disease Control (CDC) se jongste verslag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNavorsing wys verder dat mense wat aanvanklik met die Omicron-variant siek geword het, ook met die BA.5-subvariant kan aansteek \u2013 geen twyfel daaroor nie,\u201d s\u00ea Gregory Poland, \u2019n viroloog en entstofnavorser by die Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navorsing wat langdurig deur wetenskaplikes van King\u2019s College in Londen gedoen is sedert die pandemie uitgebreek het en in PLOS Medicine <\/i>gepubliseer is, wys \u201cbesondere waaksaamheid\u201d onder pasi\u00ebnte en dokters is nodig in die tydperk nadat hulle Covid-19 opgedoen het, omdat die pasi\u00ebnt se risiko vir hartsiektes en diabetes dan vir \u2019n rukkie kan verhoog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Ajay Shah, die British Heart Foundation se voorsitter van kardiologie en uitvoerende dekaan van die fakulteit lewenswetenskappe en geneeskunde, s\u00ea bevindinge \u201csal uiters waardevol wees vir dokters wat die miljoene mense bestuur wat Covid gehad het\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is duidelik dat besondere waaksaamheid vir ten minste die eerste drie maande n\u00e1 Covid-19 vereis word,\u201d het hy bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel mense wat twee keer Covid kry, as \u2019n re\u00ebl nie so siek is die tweede keer nie, is dit nie noodwendig waar vir almal nie. Die rede hiervoor is omdat mense met verskillende variante van die virus kan aansteek, en dus verskillende simptome kan h\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit blyk dus hoewel die BA.5-virus wel tans tot meer gevalle van hospitalisasie in die buiteland lei, ons aan die suidelikste punt van Afrika nie nou t\u00e9 bekommerd daaroor hoef te wees nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
