Although the pandemic process is over, viruses and variants that can lead to new pandemics continue to emerge. In the UK, Eris cases, one of the variants of Kovid-19, were different to increase.
ERIS IS ONE IN EVERY 7 NEW CASE
According to the UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA), the new variant Eris accounts for one in every 7 new cases nationwide.
Eris was recorded as the second most common variant in the UK, after Arcturus, which accounts for about half of the cases, with 39.4 percent.
Authorities reported that they are closely monitoring the situation as the increase in Kovid-19 cases worldwide continues.
According to the Zoe Kovid-19 Sympton Study, which estimates the figures for Kovid-19 infections and vaccination rates in the UK, the estimated number of cases, which was 606 thousand 656 on July 4, increased by 200 thousand to 785 thousand 980 on July 27.
INTERACTION IN CLOSED AREAS AND REDUCED IMMUNITY MAY CAUSE INCREASE
Experts suggested that the increase in Kovid-19 cases in the country may be related to the flocking of millions of people to the cinema after the Barbie and Oppenheimer movies were released on July 21.
It is considered that the gathering of people at close distance in closed and poorly ventilated areas may have increased the rates of transmission.
It is stated that the decrease in immunity against the disease and the passage of a certain period of time after the Kovid-19 vaccines may also cause an increase in cases.
