The Ministry of Public Health confirmed the registration of limited cases of the new sub-variant on August 31. The ministry clarified that the registered cases are mild and do not require hospitalization at this stage.
The Ministry also stated that the epidemic situation of the new covid variant is being closely monitored. Earlier this month, the World Health Organization had warned about a new sub-variant of Kovid 19 called EG.5. So far it has been reported in more than 50 countries including the Gulf region.
In addition to the EG.5 variant, another variant, BA.2.86, has been reported in several countries, including the United States of America, England, and Denmark. This variant can be serious because it contains multiple genetic changes different from the previous virus.
The Ministry of Public Health advised everyone, especially those with weakened immune systems, to follow precautions such as wearing a mask in crowded places, washing hands regularly, and maintaining a safe distance between people.
