Eris Covid-19 Subvariant Not a Concern, say doctors

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Doctors dismissed the latest Covid-19 variant Eris, or EG.5.1, as being a serious cause for concern even as it continues to spread rapidly in the UK, raising public fears of a new outbreak. Dr Ranga Reddy Burri, the president of the Infection Control Academy of India and public health policy advisor, said that spikes and outbreaks in variants were a natural process. The transmission dynamics of Eris is very slow, unlike Delta or Omicron.” Dismissing the need to press the panic button, he said it was critical to continue with the surveillance, especially genome sequencing and wastewater sequencing, so that any new variant that may emerge after Omicron could be identified at the earliest. Dr Anish Ananad, internal medicine consultant, said, “Over the past two years, most people have developed immunity to Covid-19 and have also been vaccinated.
