Omicron's Eg5 Subvariant Identified, Safety Reassured

15 August 2023 Coronavirus

EG5 sub-variant, a derivation of the Omicron Coronavirus variant, has been identified by the Ministry of Health. Globally, approximately 50 countries have identified this sub-variant. Initial scientific data indicate there is no increased danger compared to other previously detected variants, but Al-Rai Daily points out its rapid spread in specific regions worldwide.

Assurance is given to the public about the stability of health and clinical evaluation metrics within the country by the Ministry. As viral mutations are inherent, the appearance of such mutants is not a cause for concern.

In response to any signs of respiratory infection, the Ministry advises individuals to avoid contact with others and encourages completion of seasonal vaccinations for infectious respiratory diseases. High-risk groups should particularly adhere to preventive measures, along with healthcare practitioners and staff in therapeutic health establishments.

In these times, the Ministry wishes the public good health and safety, reminding them to remain vigilant and informed.
