Mutated strains of Covid-19 continue to spread globally, with variant 'Eris' being the latest form of the potentially deadly disease
All viruses - including Covid-19 - have the ability to warp over time, changing in severity, contagiousness, and how effective vaccines and medical treatment can be.
Symptoms include fever, chills, cough, breathing difficulties, loss of taste or smell, muscle pain, sore throat, congestion, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhoea.The Beta variant, first detected in South Africa, was declared a "variant of concern" by the World Health Organization in December 2020. The variant is believed to be more contagious than the original Wuhan virus, but no more severe.
Unlike Delta, which affected the lungs, Omicron and its sub-variants tend to cause more upper respiratory symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, hoarse voice and runny nose. Headaches, muscle pains and fatigue are also common symptoms.Arcturus, a sub-variant of Omicron, is currently the most prevalent form of Covid-19 in the UK.
