Health experts are warning that cases of the virus are on the rise once again.
Three new strains of Covid have been identified, two of which are in the UK, and health experts are warning that case numbers are increasing again. It was revealed yesterday by the UK Health Secretary Agency that the number of people in the UK with the virus was 10.8 per 100,000, in the week running up to August 14.
Health experts are advising people to stay home if they think they have the virus, and to consider wearing face masks while out and about. Here are all three of the variants in detail, and the symptoms that each one causes. Dr Bharat Pankhania, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter's medical school, told The Mirror: "It's too early to say if this strain is more of a pathologic virus at the moment. I was first aware of new cases being reported about four weeks ago. This is not a UK-specific strain, there have been cases all around the world."
Someone in London was found to be infected with this strain despite not travelling anywhere recently. This means there could already be "significant community transmission" among Britons, the UKHSA said.
