Greek resorts were threatened by the spread of a new coronavirus strain, which is rapidly spreading to tourists and the local population. According to medical sources, the new version of the Covid-19 has already led to several deaths, which caused serious concern in the country and among international travelers.
Tourists in Greece are not only threatened by the extreme heat of this summer season, but another trouble. Those who are gathering for summer vacations, Greece warns of COVID cases associated with a new Flirt disease. The Mediterranean country has reported an increase in the number of patients in the last 20 days.
The Independent writes about it.
What is known about Flirt Crownavirus
Flirt was first recorded in India in November 2023. The strain was then found in other countries - the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. British health experts suggest that Flirt does not have an immunity earned after vaccination now existing drugs from the Covid-19 or disease on other strains of the virus because it is constantly mutating.
Symptoms of Flirt variants are generally similar to the symptoms of earlier covid-19 strains: fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste and smell, sore throat, muscle pain, shortness of breath, headache and runny nose.
The consequences of Flirt are the same as in other coronavirus strains. The patients with a virus may show symptoms of post-core syndrome-fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, sleep problems, hair loss, problems with concentration and memory, digestive problems, impaired cardiovascular system. Last week, the World Health Organization published a statement that the Covid-19 is still the cause of about 1700 deaths a week around the world. WHO called for vulnerable population groups to undergo vaccination.
Recall that a rare but deadly bacterial infection spreads in Japan at a record rate, and until the doctors can identify the causes. They see the main threat that the number of cases of the most severe and potentially deadly form of streptococcal infection is increased - this condition is called streptococcal toxic shock (STSS). The presence of high -volume strains is confirmed in almost all Japan prefects.
