Health reveals new surprises about the Corona mutant

Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Population, spoke today about Corona mutants and their danger to humans.

Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said that all viruses mutate and make copies of themselves to live and spread, and most of these mutations occur randomly.

The frightening thing is that the Omicron mutant resulted in a group of strains and sub-mutations, but the World Health Organization did not describe any of these mutants as worrisome, in addition to the fact that health systems in countries closely monitor these mutations.

The health spokesman said that the most recent discovery of mutants was in August 2022, and what is published on social media of new discoveries of mutants is unfounded.

Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar pointed out that the Egyptian Ministry of Health has a strong monitoring and monitoring system and follows up closely with all international health organizations, and health decisions are taken according to scientific evidence.

Precautionary measures

The health spokesman confirmed that there is no change in the precautionary measures at Egyptian airports or ports in the first week of January 2023 through the 27 monitoring centers.

No deaths due to Corona were recorded

The health spokesman stated that no deaths due to Corona were recorded during the first week of this year, and we always recommend precautionary measures to prevent diseases, including:

• Good ventilation

• Continuous disinfection

• Wearing a mask in crowded places

• Obtaining stimulant doses for everyone who has passed 6 months and whose age is less than 60 years and does not suffer from chronic diseases, and for the elderly who are over 60 years and have passed 3 months and have chronic diseases.
