Ever since China changed its policy regarding coronavirus at the end of 2022, the number of cases in Chinese hospitals has increased rapidly.
The new Omicron Subvariant BF.7 is spreading rapidly in China, after which many countries have imposed travel restrictions on China.
Spread of coronavirus cases in China
After widespread protests in the country of 1.4 billion people, it began to end the ‘Zero-Covid’ period of lockdown and testing in 2022, at the cost of economic and psychological problems for 3 years. The virus has largely been contained.
The sudden change in policy has put an unprecedented strain on China’s health system, with hospitals short of beds and blood and pharmacies out of drugs, prompting authorities to rapidly build specialized clinics.
At the same time, a new variant of coronavirus BF.7 is spreading rapidly in China, which has forced the whole world to impose Corona restrictions again.
A new variant of coronavirus spreading in China
The new strain of coronavirus spreading in China is a subtype of the deadly Omicron variant BF.7 or BA.5.2.1.7.
According to the report, the variant reported in China is the most virulent of all omicron types and is transmitted more rapidly than other variants, either by vaccine recipients or has a greater ability to infect those who have already suffered from coronavirus, its symptoms are similar to other omicron variants.
What are its symptoms?
BF.7 strains are similar to other covid-19 variants, such as fever, sore throat, runny nose, and cough, while some patients may also experience vomiting and diarrhea.
How dangerous is the new virus?
According to experts, the new sub-type of coronavirus that is emerging in China is not that dangerous. A large number of people will be affected by this type, but the risk of death is low, so all people who have received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine should receive a booster dose to increase their immunity to fight the virus.
