Over the past two decades, Covid strains have evolved and changed. The symptoms also have changed.<\/span>Credit: Getty<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Official data from The Office of National Statistics (ONS), Friday revealed that 1.7million Brits are currently infected with the bug. This figure is up from 1.3million the week before.<\/p>\n

    One in fifty people contracted the bug last week. Now, it is one in 35.<\/p>\n

    Figures from the team at ZOE also state that there are around 235,829 new daily symptomatic cases of\u00a0Covid\u00a0in the UK.<\/p>\n

    The figures from ZOE show that this is almost 34 percent more than the 176.090 daily cases recorded two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

    It can be hard to determine if you have the bug because testing is not free.<\/p>\n

    If you have sore throats, it is likely to be Covid. However, it may also be caused by viruses such as the flu or smoking.<\/p>\n

    The NHS stated that sometimes sore throats could also be caused by tonsillitis, laryngitis or glandular fever.<\/p>\n

    As people continue to fall ill, medics have urged Brits to \u00a0stay away\u00a0from elderly friends or relatives in order to prevent the illness being passed on.<\/p>\n

    Dr Mary Ramsay (Director of Public Health Programmes, UK Health Security Agency) stated that there are early signs that Covid-19-related deaths have begun to increase.<\/p>\n

    “While this is worrying, it is not possible to determine if they are Covid-19-related deaths. However, it is encouraging that there is no excess mortality overall at this point.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIf you are unwell or have symptoms of a respiratory infection, it is particularly important to avoid contact with elderly people or those who are more likely to have severe disease because of their ongoing health conditions.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWearing a face covering will also help stop respiratory infections spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The majority of those who contract the Omicron virus in the UK have been suffering from common cold symptoms since last year.<\/p>\n

    This strain is milder than the ones that came before it, such as Alpha and Delta.<\/p>\n

    Due to the massive vaccine rollout and the fact there are many people already infected, the spread of the virus may be slower.<\/p>\n

    One expert said that the bug is now in one-in-35 people. This means that everyone needs to be vigilant.<\/p>\n

    Professor Denis Kinane (immunologist and Founding Scientist),\u00a0Cignpost Diagnostics<\/a>\u00a0said this includes using facemasks and avoiding crowded indoor events.<\/p>\n

    He said that the virus would continue to evolve as long as there is a large unvaccinated population. We could also see newer, more powerful strains of the virus.<\/p>\n

    “The UK’s ability to detect, analyse and stop future variants has been severely affected by the end of universal free testing, as well as the absence of a baseline surveillance program at its borders.<\/p>\n

    “This has inevitably deterred many from getting tested, and it is likely we will see infections spread rapidly as people will not be aware that there are infected.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
