Omicron Bf.7 variant may have hidden spread in India, so will Corona cases increase again?

 Experts say that even though the BF.7 variant has not shown any significant impact in India in the last few months, there is a danger of spread due to it.

Corona in China: The Corona virus is wreaking havoc in China. the way COVID is spreading in China. It has never been seen before. The situation is that there is a crowd of patients in the hospitals, and the cases of death are increasing daily. Health officials say that in the next few days, 800 million people in China may be infected with Kovid. Omicron's sub-variant BF.7 is believed to be the main reason for the spread of Covid in China. People are easily falling victim to this variant because of its high infectivity rate.

Apart from China, this variant has also been found in the United States and Japan. India has also reported cases of the BF.7 variant, despite the fact that it has existed there for many months. Doctors say that bacteria and viruses become very active during this season. Even though the BF.7 variant has not shown any significant effect in the last few months, due to this, there is still a danger of an increase in the number of cases of Kovid.
Experts believe that there may be a concealed spread of the BF.7 sub-variant in India, which poses a risk for an increase in cases. In such a situation, people need to be careful, even though this variant is not a threat to India, but cases may increase.

What is a hidden spread?

Professor Dr. Jugal Kishore, HOD, Department of Community Medicine, Safdarjung Hospital, says that there are many people who do not show symptoms even if they are infected with Kovid, but these people are infected by another person (weak immunity). They can spread the virus by coming into contact with it. When an individual with weakened immunity becomes infected, symptoms can also be somewhat dangerous. due to which the spread of viruses increases. The R value of BF.7 is also very high. In such a situation, there is a danger of disease spreading. However, there is no risk of an increase in cases of hospitalization or death.
since people will gather to celebrate the New Year in the coming days. In such a situation, there is a risk of spreading the virus from one infected person to many others. Even if a person does not exhibit any COVID symptoms, they can still transmit the virus to another person. Although there is no danger like in China in India, even if the cases increase further, there will only be a slight increase.  It really is the reason there is no desire to panic.
what is the way to avoid it

People must now strictly adhere to the Kovid prevention guidelines and take all necessary precautions with regard to Corona.

These people should get booster dose

Epidemiologist Dr. Anshuman Kumar told me in a conversation that there will be no threat of COVID in India like in China, but high-risk people, i.e., the elderly and people suffering from chronic diseases, should get the third dose of the vaccine. Even though there is no danger in India, there is a danger of mutation in the virus in China. In such a situation, it is possible that a new variant will also appear. which may be at risk of spreading to other countries as well. That's why prevention is very important.
