Experts have offered advice from staying home with suspected symptoms to topping up vaccines as the number of new cases of the virus start to creep up across the UK.
Three variants are currently active with the latest figures estimating that 10.8 per 100,000 people were recorded as suffering from the virus in the week leading up to August 14.
While there are no restrictions on movement in Britain, experts have asked anyone who suspects they may have covid to stay at home and consider wear a facemask. One in seven cases across the country are now being attributed to Eris, as cases of the virus continue to rise across all age groups. Dr Bharat Pankhania, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter's medical school, told The Mirror: "It's too early to say if this strain is more of a pathologic virus at the moment. I was first aware of new cases being reported about four weeks ago. This is not a UK-specific strain, there have been cases all around the world."
Dr Pankhania, an expert in disease control and public health, said it was crucial for people to keep on top of their vaccine, while only time would tell whether the most recent jab would help protect against Eris.He added: "The bottom line is this - as variants like this emerge we need to, constantly keep up to date with modifying the vaccines to mirror them. This will be a forever ongoing process.
Its mutations could include dodging the body's immunity from prior infections or vaccination. Its symptoms are what you might expect of other strains of covid, including high fever, cough, cold and loss of sense of taste or smell.
