Muva nje, inani lezigameko zokuhluka okusha kwe-coronavirus EG.5 belilokhu likhuphuka ezindaweni eziningi emhlabeni jikelele, futhi Inhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba ibhale i-EG.5 “njengokwehlukile okudinga ukunakwa”.

I-World Health Organisation (WHO) imemezele ngoLwesibili (isikhathi sendawo) ukuthi ihlukanise uhlobo olusha lwe-coronavirus EG.5 "njengokukhathazayo."

Ngokwemibiko, Inhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba ithe ngomhlaka-9 ukuthi ilandelela izinhlobonhlobo ezintsha ze-coronavirus, okuhlanganisa nokuhluka okusha kwe-coronavirus EG.5, okumanje ezungeza e-United States nase-United Kingdom.

U-Maria van Khove, umholi wezobuchwepheshe we-WHO we-COVID-19, uthe i-EG.5 inyuse ukusuleleka kodwa ibingenamandla kunezinye izinhlobo ze-Omicron.

Ngokombiko, ngokuhlola umthamo wokudlulisela kanye noguquko lwamandla okuhlukahluka kwegciwane, uguquko luhlukaniswe izigaba ezintathu: okuhlukile "ngaphansi kokubhekwa", "udinga ukunaka" okuhlukile futhi "udinga ukunaka" okuhlukile.

U-Who Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus uthe: "Ubungozi buhlala buhlukile obuyingozi kakhulu obungaholela ekwenyukeni kwamacala nokufa okungazelelwe."

Yini i-EG.5?Isakazeka kuphi?

I-EG.5, "inzalo" ye-coronavirus entsha ye-Omikrin subvariant XBB.1.9.2, yatholwa okokuqala ngoFebhuwari 17 kulo nyaka.

Igciwane liphinde lingene kumaseli omuntu kanye nezicubu ngendlela efanayo ne-XBB.1.5 nezinye izinhlobo ze-Omicron.Ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, abasebenzisi baqambe igama elithi “Eris” eliguquguqukayo ngokwezinhlamvu zesiGreki, kodwa lokhu akugunyazwanga ngokusemthethweni yi-WHO.

Kusukela ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, i-EG.5 ibangele isibalo esandayo sokutheleleka nge-COVID-19, futhi Inhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba yakubeka ohlwini “njengesidingo sokuqapha” okwehlukile ngoJulayi 19.

Kusukela ngomhla ka-7 Agasti, ukulandelana kofuzo okungu-7,354 EG.5 okuvela emazweni angu-51 kulayishwe ku-Global Initiative for Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID), okuhlanganisa i-United States, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore, United Kingdom, France, Portugal kanye Spain.

Ekuhloleni kwayo kwakamuva, i-WHO ibhekisele ku-EG.5 kanye nama-subvariants ayo ahlobene eduze, okuhlanganisa i-EG.5.1.Ngokusho kwe-UK Health Safety Authority, i-EG.5.1 manje ilandisa cishe icala elilodwa kweziyisikhombisa ezitholwe ukuhlolwa kwasesibhedlela.I-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ilinganisela ukuthi i-EG.5, ebilokhu ijikeleza e-United States kusukela ngo-April futhi manje inesibopho samaphesenti angaba ngu-17 okutheleleka okusha, idlule ezinye izinto ezingaphansi kwe-Omicron ukuze ibe uhlobo oluvame kakhulu.Ukulaliswa kweCoronavirus kuyanda kulo lonke elase-United States, kanti ukulaliswa esibhedlela kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayi-12.5 kuya ku-9,056 ngesonto eledlule, ngokusho kwenhlangano yezempilo.

Umgomo usavikela ukutheleleka nge-EG.5!

I-EG.5.1 inokushintshwa okubili okubalulekile okwengeziwe i-XBB.1.9.2 ingenakho, okuyi-F456L ne-Q52H, kuyilapho i-EG.5 inokuguqulwa kwe-F456L kuphela.Ushintsho oluncane olungeziwe ku-EG.5.1, ukuguqulwa kwe-Q52H kuphrotheni ye-spike, kuyinikeza inzuzo ngaphezu kwe-EG.5 mayelana nokudlulisela.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi izindlela zokwelapha ezitholakalayo kanye nemithi yokugoma okwamanje kusalindeleke ukuthi zisebenze ngokumelene ne-mutant strain, ngokusho komkhulumeli we-CDC.

Umqondisi we-Us Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uMandy Cohen uthe umuthi wokugoma obuyekeziwe ngoSepthemba uzonikeza isivikelo ku-EG.5 nokuthi okuhlukile okusha akumeleli ushintsho olukhulu.

I-UK Health Safety Authority ithi ukugoma kuseyiyona ndlela engcono kakhulu yokuzivikela ekuqubukeni kwe-coronavirus yesikhathi esizayo, ngakho-ke kusabalulekile ukuthi abantu bathole yonke imigomo okufanele bayithole ngokushesha okukhulu.
