A new Covid variant, which is spreading rapidly across the world, has been detected in the UK
and is being described as ‘the “most transmissible yet”, a World Health Organisation scientist has said. The deadly virus is already causing large numbers of hospital admissions in the UK - and the subvariant has reportedly been detected across the USA.
Ms Van Kerkhove explained: “‘We are concerned about its growth advantage in particular in some countries in Europe and in the US... particularly the Northeast part of the United States, where XBB.1.5 has rapidly replaced other circulating variants.” University of Warwick virologist Prof Lawrence Young told The Independent he believes the UK is not ready to deal with another Covid wave spreading rapidly. “We didn’t have enough public health messaging around the flu jab. We’ve now got a perfect storm of different respiratory infections going around at the moment and that’s inevitably going to result in more pressure on the NHS,” he said.
