PEOPLE are suggested to remain vigilant as cases of a new variant of Covid19 increase.
The Irish health government has reported a massive increase in cases and hospitalisations.
A family doctor has posted an update on the symptoms of the new Covid variant FLiRT.
There has been a massive backlog of confirmed Covid cases and hospitalizations.
Experts warn that Covid is receding in Ireland and across Europe.
According to the HPSC, the figures indicate that the upward trend of the virus continues.
On June 6, the Center for Health Protection Surveillance (HPSC) reported that the number of known infections had risen by about 20% in a week.
306 cases were reported in week 21 (May 19-25), a 19. 1 percent increase from last week, when there were 257 cases.
In the same period, 154 cases of hospitalization were reported, 40% more than the 110 cases reported last week.
FLiRT is the variant that is being developed throughout the country, all descendants of the JN. 1 branch.
This is an organization of other variants that was recently discovered in Ireland.
FLiRT accounts for more than a portion of cases in the United States.
In the United States, a family doctor talked about the symptoms he sees with this strain.
In a viral TikTok video, Dr. Jessica Kiss, @askdrmom, said, “Are you dealing with Covid?As a doctor, I will discuss the existing symptoms. No, you didn’t teleport to 2020, that’s what’s happening right now.
“So the Covid FLiRT variant is a very remote descendant of Omicron, but with a few key mutations, it means it evades our immune formula a little better, causing other people to return to poor health. I’m not looking to alarm other people , I’m just trying to fill you in. Let’s talk about the symptoms we’re seeing lately with this specific variant.
“Tall and tall, the patients I spoke to who lately have Covid complained of extreme fatigue and sinus-like symptoms, as well as sore throats. Basically, the symptoms of a bloodless patient are a little more severe than those of a typical bloodless patient. There are very few people who tell me they have loss of taste or smell, although it’s still something you can get with that, and if you do, then I’m guessing you have Covid right now.
In a follow-up video, the mother of 4 added: “I explained how the not-unusual, though steroid-like, cold symptoms are the main thing I’m seeing right now, and that includes the cough. By the way, the Coughing is part of a normal cold, but your cough persists.
“What I don’t see so much now where I am is the fever. There is a fever related to it, but the other people I’ve talked to so far have literally not had a fever. And that’s not to say that if you have a fever, it’s not Covid, it just means you can’t increase the fever with this strain of Covid for a couple of other reasons. One of them is that he has been exposed to Covid several times. Many of you have been vaccinated or have actually been infected, so your body may not react as strongly.
The HSE lists fatigue, elevated temperature/chills, and dry cough as the three most sensitive symptoms to look for.
Less common symptoms include loss or replacement of smell or taste, runny or stuffy nose, conjunctivitis, sore throat, headache, muscle or joint pain, other types of rashes, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, and chills or dizziness.
If you have any of the symptoms, the HSE recommends people stay home and communicate with others for 48 hours after their symptoms have almost completely or completely disappeared.
If you test positive for Covid, the existing recommendation is to stay at home and in contact with others for five days from the date the first symptoms appeared.
