This Covid 19 related information circulating on WhatsApp is fake: Ministry of Health – Times of India
The Ministry of Health has highlighted that a message related to Covid 19 XBB variant on WhatsApp is fake and misleading. The Ministry of Health has posted on Twitter via its official handle clarifying this and has also provided relevant information about the new XBB variant.
Here’s what the WhatsApp message about Covid 19 XBB variant reads:
“Everyone is advised to wear a mask because the new variant of the COVID-Omicron XBB coronavirus is different, deadly and not easy to detect correctly. The symptoms of the new virus COVID-Omicron XBB are the following:
1. There is no cough.
2. There is no fever.
There will only be a limited number of these others:
3. Joint pain.
4. Headache.
5. Pain in the neck.
6. Upper back pain.
7. Pneumonia.
8. There is usually no appetite.
COVID-Omicron XBB is 5 times more virulent than the Delta variant and has a higher mortality rate than it.
It takes less time for the condition to reach extreme severity and sometimes there are no obvious symptoms.
Let’s be more careful!
This strain of the virus is not found in the nasopharyngeal region and directly affects the lungs for a relatively short period of time. Several patients diagnosed with Covid-Omicron XBB were classified as afebrile and pain-free, but X-rays showed mild chest pneumonia Nasal swab tests are often negative for Covid-Omicron XBB, and cases of false negative nasopharyngeal bests are increasing
This means that the virus can spread in the community and directly infect the lungs, causing viral pneumonia, which in tum causes acute respiratory distress.
This explains why the Covid-Omicron XBB has become something very contagious, highly virulent and lethal Caution, avoid crowded places, keep a distance of 1.5 m even in open spaces, wear a double-layer mask, wear a suitable mask, wash hands frequently, even if everyone is asymptomatic (no coughing or sneezing).
This wave of Covid-Omicron XBB is deadlier than the first wave of Covid-19. So we have to be very careful and take several reinforced precautions against the coronavirus,
Maintain vigilant communication with your friends and family. Do not keep this information to yourself, share it with other family members and friends.”
