New Variants of Covid-19

Viruses continually alter through change, and modern variations of infection are antic
ipated to happen over time. Some of the time unused variations rise and vanish. Oth
er times, unused variations develop and endure. Numerous variations of the infection
that causes COVID-19 have been archived within the Joined together States and all-i
nclusive amid this widespread. We're hearing approximately variations of the SARS-
CoV-2 infection that causes COVID-19. How concerned ought to we be? And do im
munization or vaccine give assurance against these variations? Many people have di
ed from coronavirus disease (Covid-19) since January 2020. Many more people will
die before we find better ways to manage or vanish this disease. However, if we can
not handle or manage this virus then what more for this new variant of Covid-19. SA
RS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has had a major impact on human healt
h globally; infecting a large number of people; causing severe disease and associate
d long-term health sequelae; resulting in death and excess mortality, especially amo
ng older and vulnerable populations; interrupting routine healthcare services; disrupti
ons to travel, trade, education and many other societal functions; and more broadly h
aving a negative impact on peoples physical and mental health.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 widespread, WHO has gotten a few reports of 
bizarre open well-being occasions conceivably due to variations of SARS-CoV-2. W
HO routinely surveys on the off chance that variations of SARS-CoV-2 result in chan
ges in transmissibility, clinical introduction, and seriousness, or on the off chance tha
t they affect countermeasures, counting diagnostics, therapeutics, and immunization
s? Past reports of the D614G change and the later reports of infection variations fro
m the Kingdom of Denmark, the Joined together Kingdom of Incredible Britain and N
orthern Ireland, and the Republic of South Africa have raised intrigues and concern a
bout the effect of viral changes. So why is this variant causing concern? It has three t
hings are coming together that mean it is attracting attention like it is rapidly replacin
g other versions of the virus. Second, it has mutations that affect part of the virus like
ly to be important and lastly, some of those mutations have already been shown in th
e lab to increase the ability of the virus to infect cells. All of these come together to b
uild a case for a virus that can spread more easily.
Another statement that we will know about is how much faster is it spreading? Becau
se we will know and we will have a knowledge to know how to avoid this to spread fa
ster. Like the new variant of Covid-19 in South Africa, United Kingdom, United States
of America, Brazil, India and many more they are fighting it so that they will secure.
Multiple variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 are circulating globally like the U
nited Kingdom (UK) identified a variant called B.1.1.7 with a large number of mutatio
ns in the fall of 2020. This variant spreads more easily and quickly than other variant
s. In January 2021, experts in the UK reported that this variant may be associated wi
th an increased risk of death compared to other variant viruses, but more studies are
needed to confirm this finding. It has since been detected in many countries around t
he world. This variant was first detected in the US at the end of December 2020. In S
outh Africa, another variant called B.1.351 emerged independently of B.1.1.7. Origin
ally detected in early October 2020, B.1.351 shares some mutations with B.1.1.7. Ca
ses caused by this variant have been reported in the US at the end of January 2021.
In Brazil, a variant called P.1 emerged that was first identified in travelers from Brazil,
who were tested during routine screening at an airport in Japan, in early January. Thi
s variant contains a set of additional mutations that may affect its ability to be recogni
zed by antibodies. This variant was first detected in the US at the end of January 202
1. These variants seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, which
may lead to more cases of COVID-19. An increase in the number of cases will put m
ore strain on health care resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially mo
re deaths. So far, studies suggest that antibodies generated through vaccination with
currently authorized vaccines recognize these variants. This is being closely investig
ated and more studies are underway. Rigorous and increased compliance with publi
c health mitigation strategies, such as vaccination, physical distancing, use of masks,
hand hygiene, and isolation and quarantine, is essential to limit the spread of the vir
us that causes COVID-19 and protect public health.
Scientists are working to learn more about these variants, and more studies are nee
ded to understand like how widely these new variants have spread, how the disease
caused by these new variants differs from the disease caused by other variants that
are currently circulating and how these variants may affect existing therapies, vaccin
es, and tests. Our public health officials are studying these variants quickly to learn
more to control their spread. They want to understand whether the variants are sprea
d more easily from person-to-person, cause milder or more severe disease in people
are detected by currently available viral tests, respond to medicines currently being
used to treat people for COVID-19 and lastly change the effectiveness of COVID-19
vaccines.
So, we understand that virus is mutating whether it is faster to spread or slower to sp
read. We also know that this new variant of Covid-19 will be give us a struggle again
like before because of the community lockdown, anxiety, mental breakdown and ma
ny problems. This new variant may be possible to be deadly or not or just faster to sp
read unlike before. As a student, I can assure that we as individual citizens in our co
untry, we should be cooperating for our front liners by doing the same thing, a basic r
eminder that wear your face mask properly, sanitize yourself if you are in outside, we
ar your face shield and “bawal lumabas” if it is not necessary. By this friendly remind
er we can contribute for our front liners as well as to our government. Remember, be
educate, be mature and be a role model for everyone. Thank you!
