The new Arcturus variant is said to be more infectious
A new Covid variant, which has been deemed "more infectious", has just been confirmed in the UK as confirmed cases soar in India.
According to the latest research, Arcturus could be 1.2 times more infectious than the most recent significant sub-variant of coronavirus. What are its symptoms? Likely mostly similar to before with most people exhibiting mild cold-like symptoms but with the capacity to cause severe lung infection in vulnerable people. There is also the very real risk of Long Covid. For XBB.1.16, some have noted conjunctivitis in kids.
Should NI's current immunity levels help to minimise the impact of this new variant? I believe that the current levels of immunity built up from vaccination and infection will help against each new variant even if more infectious, but the vulnerable may need more help .
