To date, there is no indication that “Centaurus”, the new subvariant of Omicron, lead to a more severe form of coronavirus infection, despite the fact that scientists are at a more difficult stage to decipher this new viral puzzle. The evidence on its contagion capacity and its expansion is still precarious, according to a statement from the New Zealand Ministry of Health, which has already registered the first infections by this variant of COVID-19.
Although it is true that the new variant is largely unknown, experts have already expressed concern about the new variant of the coronavirus. Dr. Shay Fleishon, of the Central Laboratory of Virology at Sheba Medical Center in Israel, explained that the new subvariant may be “alarming because it may imply a trend to come.”
The doctor explained that in recent months there has been a trend of second-generation variants of COVID-19 with some omicron characteristics and the WHO detailed that the new subvariant has more mutations which make it even more dangerous. In addition, the World Health Organization stated that BA.2.75., better known as Centaurus, it is up to five times more contagious than the omicron variant.
Symptoms of the new variants of COVID-19
Although this new strain that emerged in India is unknown, scientists and experts have assured that Centaurus presents some symptoms similar to those of Omicron, with slight differences:
– Headache
– Throat pain
– Tos
– Fatigue
– Muscle pains
The new variant has expanded to seven countries around the world, including Germany, Australia, Canada, United States, Japan, New Zealand and the United Kingdom and there is already the fear that it could spread to more countries on Earth.
