Covid-19: Will the infection start increasing again as soon as the winter season arrives? This warning of WHO needs to be heeded

Even after more than two and a half years have passed since the Corona epidemic, many questions related to it are still no less than a puzzle. When will this epidemic end, do the cases of the infection start increasing depending on the season? Many such questions are still in the minds of people, for which no concrete answer has been found even from studies. After a few days, autumn is about to start in the country, in such a situation once again the question is arising whether the cases of corona and its severity will start increasing as soon as the winter season arrives.

If we look at the data of the last two years, it is known that the infection, which was under control till September-October, starts gaining momentum in the month of November-December.

In many studies to know the nature of the infection, it has been emphadata-sized that the corona is not a weather-based infection, that is, if the studies are to be believed, it is not necessary that its risk increases in the cold season, although the country's The records make one think on these reports. Meanwhile, the World health Organization (WHO) has also warned at a conference that despite the current decline in new cases of infection, the cold weather is likely to increase again in the coming months. Let us know on what basis such a claim is being made, are we going to see a surge in infection again in the coming days?

What does WHO say?

During a conversation with reporters this week, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that there is a decrease in the number of deaths from Kovid-19 globally. Although cold weather is approaching in many countries, there is a possibility of an increase in cases of infection once again in the coming months. Everyone needs to be very careful about this. In the past, there has been an increase in the cases of infection in the cold season.

New variants are increasing concern

Expressing concern about the new variants of Corona, the WHO chief said that the existing sub-variants of Omicron are more infectious than the earlier variants. There is a risk of more dangerous variants emerging from them. Furthermore, globally, vaccination coverage is still very low among high-risk people, especially in low-income countries. Due to this, there is a crisis of infection and the emergence of new threats with mutations in the virus, about which everyone will have to take special precautions. Even though the cases of Kovid have reduced, the infection is not over, everyone should keep in mind that.

The risk of infection increases in cold weather

In a study published in the Nature journal on weather-based coronavirus infection, microbiologist David Railman of Stanford university in california says, cases of corona have been seen to be more contagious during the winter season. The infectivity nature of the variants that cause influenza-like respiratory infections tends to change during the winter season. Laboratory studies suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may also cause greater infectivity in cold and dry conditions.

What do experts say?

Researchers say that the way cases of highly infectious variants of corona have been seen at present, they may have mild symptoms, but still, we all need to be careful about its danger. If cases of infection are not controlled, then these variants can lead to further mutations, which can lead to more serious variants.

To avoid this kind of crisis, all people must follow the covid appropriate behavior continuously. Even if you have been vaccinated, keep following the preventive measures against Kovid.
