A few days before the end of the year, covid is still very present and active. In fact, in China, the cases of infections of a new covid variant, the BF.7 variant, are skyrocketing.
It is a sublineage of the omicron variant BA.5 which is two to three times more infectious than the previous variants. Also, symptoms with BF.7 appear earlier than with other earlier strains of covid.
New variant detected in China
This new variant has been detected in China and since its incubation period is shorter and it spreads faster, the international community is on high alert. Another thing of concern is the ease with which this new variant reinfects people who have previously had covid and who are vaccinated.
The BF.7 variant has already been detected in Spain but the situation is not comparable to that of China, which although the official press has started to minimize the risk of the omicron variant through numerous articles and interviews with experts, this week the number of i patients who attended the hospital in Beijing multiplied by six.
