The World Health Organization has started surveillance according to a relatively new variant of the coronavirus. It was named EG.5 "Eris".
Earlier, the WHO warned about the rapid spread of the new version of the omicron strain of the EG.5 "Eris" coronavirus. WHO classified this option as "of interest".
"Eris" has shown increased prevalence and the ability to evade immunity, but there have been no reports of changes in the severity of the disease so far, the WHO says. However, it may cause an increase in incidence and become dominant worldwide.
