But the good news is that the aforementioned mutant, according to the organization, causes a mild illness like its predecessor "Omicron".
Statements by the technical chief of the World Health Organization for Corona, Maria Van Kerkhove, at a press conference, Wednesday:
• "We are concerned about its particularly widespread feature in some countries in Europe and the United States, particularly the northeastern part of United State".
• "XBB.1.5 quickly replaced other known variants".
• "What worries us is the great possibility of its transmission, and the greater the spread of this virus, the greater the chances of it mutating again".
The aforementioned mutant acquired 14 new mutations, which appear to have given it enhanced antibody resistance.
This means that it has gained more immunity against human resistance to it, including people who have been vaccinated or infected with a previous infection, although it does not cause severe disease.
But that seems scary World Health Organization It is likely to be "XBB.1.5" A gateway to another more dangerous mutator, as the higher the number of infections, the higher the chances of the virus mutating.
