Is omicron reviving a covid 19 wave again?
Omicron is the covid 19 variant which is posing a challenge across the globe, including US, India etc. Lot of the population over the world got vaccinated but still it is affecting them. If the fully vaccinated person is not safe then what about partially or unvaccinated. Is omicron reviving a covid 19 wave again?
The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is more dangerous and contagious. This is a fear that omicron could receive covid 19 waves in India again as the cases are increasing. Omicron has high transmissibility so it could breach immunity shields offered by vaccination.
Reason behind increased cases is not to follow safety protocols by people, not even in the big cities or the high risk places. When Delta variant struck worldwide, the number of tests were performed quite fast and covid 19 protocols were followed by each person. The vaccination process was fast. But as there is decline in cases all these get slow down, even no one is putting masks on their face and not using sanitizer. However, a high positivity rate is not being witnessed. But it's meaning is not that it could not be.
Symptoms of omicron virus:
Some of the most common symptoms of the Covid-19 include loss of smell and taste, fever, scratchy throat and body pain. Some studies show the three major symptoms of Omicron are headache, extreme tiredness and body ache. Neither they are getting high fever nor the taste and aroma of food is going away.
Precautions to take against omicron:
Like other strains of covid 19, the Omicron variant can also be dangerous and can even cause death. Therefore, proper treatment is necessary. To protect against corona, you still have to take all the precautions as before. Get tested immediately and get isolated as soon as you see any symptoms. Only in this way can this infection be prevented from spreading. Make sure to apply a mask and apply it properly, follow social distancing, keep food and drink right and if you have not got both doses of vaccine so far, then get it done as soon as possible.
1. To avoid the Omicron variant, you must first take both the doses of covid 19.
2. Follow social distance and do not go out as much as possible.
3. Wherever you go out of the house, follow all the rules. Use a mask and sanitizer.
4. Protect yourself from going to crowded areas.
5. If any symptom of the Omicron variant is seen, then you should contact the doctor soon.
6. Apart from this, keep drinking water so that there is no shortage of water in the body.
Conclusion:
Omicron is affecting unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people more. As we are not aware of this new coronavirus variant . And we have very limited resources, so it is a favourable zone to spread fast. Though there is no indication that the variant is reviving a Covid 19 wave yet. But be careful it could revive the second wave as we are going in its direction.
