Matina Pagoni spoke today about a new mutation of the XEC coronavirus, and everything indicates that it will spread this winter.
New strain of coronavirus XEC has been discovered for the first time in June in Germany and has already begun its march through a number of European countries.
«The coronavirus has developed many mutations. Now the symptoms and clinical condition of patients are somewhat better compared to previous strains. And since the weather was warm, there was no outbreak of the disease. But as soon as we start gathering indoors, an outbreak of seasonal viral diseases will begin“, – said EINAP President Matina Pagoni on the MEGA channel.
Covid XEC: New, 'most contagious' coronavirus variant spreads across Europe – why it's worrying Matina Pagoni stressed that special attention should be paid to high-risk groups, who should consult a doctor for receiving antiviral treatment (vaccines). According to Matina Pagoni, with antiviral drugs “you won't be hospitalized, you won't be intubated.” If you do get sick – you will experience the disease in a mild form.
The EINAP President stressed that citizens should get a flu shot in October, as a seasonal outbreak is expected.
