AUSTRALIA – Kumakalat sa Australia ang isang bagong COVID-19 na ibinabala ng mga health expert na mas mabilis kumalat kaysa sa mga naunang variant.
Ayon sa health department spokesperson, may mga kumpirmadong kaso na ng LB.1 sa Australia.
“Although LB.1 is almost certainly more transmissible than KP.2, it doesn’t appear to be outperforming KP.3 and its descendants,” pagbabahagi ni professor Adrian Esterman, chair ng biostatistics and epidemiology sa University of South Australia.
Sinabi rin ni Paul Griffin, infectious disease physician at clinical microbiologist sa University of Queensland, na posibleng malapit na sa peak ng COVID cases an bansa ngayong winter.
“We had a large wave of Covid activity and that does seem to be stalling, but there is still quite a lot at the moment.” RNT/JGC
