ALARMING DEVELOPMENT OF CORONA VIRUS

While many countries have begun to normalize against the corona virus, which has killed more than 6 million people worldwide, the Omicron XE variant has recently been detected in many countries, especially the United Kingdom and Thailand.

New variants of the outbreak of the corona virus, which has been worrying the world since the last weeks of 2019, continue to appear.

It was announced that cases of Omicron XE, a subtype of the Omicron variant of the corona virus, continue to increase in the UK. While experts note that it is not yet known how contagious this variant is, it is known that this mutation is caused by Omicron.1 and BA. was quoted that it consists of a decoupling of 2 extensions.

The variant has been growing rapidly recently, while the British Health Safety Agency’s data showed that the number of cases has increased by 9.8 percent.

But it was noted that this case ratio has yet coincided with a small part of the total cases, while it was emphasized that among the subspecies of the Omicron variant, there are XD, XF and XE. Deciphered, the Omicron variant is not yet included in the total number of deciphered cases. While it was announced that XD was seen in some European countries, it was also stated that XE was the biggest concern. Scientists have found that the Omicron XE variant is similar to the original Omicron (BA.1) mutated with Omicron (BA.2) he also noted that it arose from the combination of its variants.

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ALSO MADE A STATEMENT

On the other hand, a statement was also received from the World Health Organization, which is an official within the United Nations, regarding the mutation.

While the World Health Organization explained that Omicron XE may be the most infectious variant that has emerged so far, “According to early results, this variant is BA.it can multiply 10 percent faster than 2. But it is necessary to increase the work to confirm this yet,” it said.
