The National Institutes of Health (INS) reported that a pedigree called ХВВ.1.5detected since last December continues to increase and now accounts for almost half of the samples whose genomes have been sequenced.

In a message from the Ministry of Health (Mr.Minsa) explained that to date there is no evidence that the XBB.1.5 line causes more severe disease compared to other variants or previous lines.

However World Health Organization (WHO) very close observation is recommended. In Peru, as indicated in the portfolio of ministers, the growth of this line goes hand in hand with an increase in the number of positive tests for COVID-19.

“In this sense, it is necessary and necessary to support preventive measures such as vaccination,” he said.

According to the INS, the most prominent feature of this variant is that it is highly contagious, although this condition should not be of great concern as vaccines work very well against new variants and a bivalent vaccine is already available throughout Peru.

vaccination

variant ХВВ.1.5 It originated in the United States and, being more contagious, supplanted previous lineages until it reached 90% of new cases in that country.

Minsa assured that Peru is monitoring the virus, which is based on genomic surveillance to continue collecting data on the disease. And to counteract the consequences of this option, it is advisable to adhere to the vaccination schedule, especially in the most vulnerable groups and in unvaccinated people.

In addition to being vaccinated, the Ministry of Health has recommended ventilating rooms and wearing a mask in case of respiratory symptoms.
