Wellington: New Zealand could be hit by another wave of COVID-19 before the end of the year, Covid-19 modeller Michael Plank said.

According to a report, the University of Canterbury professor Plank citing an example of another upcoming pandemic wave, said the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations is on the rise in European countries such as Germany, Denmark, Belgium and the UK.

He said that the declining immunity and factors such as the new Omicron sub-forms BQ.1.1, one BA.5 lineage and another subtype, BA.2.75.2, could contribute to creating another wave in the future.

According to the Health Ministry, New Zealand recorded 9,975 new covid-19 community cases and 33 more deaths from the pandemic last week. Last week, on an average, new cases per day reached 1,422. The country saw a steady decline in the number of daily cases from over 10,000 cases across the country in early July.

Therefore, whatever happens in the northern region expects something similar to happen here – maybe in a couple of weeks, planck was quoted as saying by the New Zealand Herald. He noted that many citizens of New Zealand were no longer wearing masks and the border had already opened last month.

Ottawa: The federal government is considering to end the border rules on Covid-19 vaccines by the end of September. Along with this, the government is also planning to make AliveCan an elective app.

The federal government will change its policies on the pandemic by the end of this month. According to reliable sources, the Liberal government has also indicated to end Covid-19 testing for travelers.

In June, the federal government said border restrictions, including mandatory showing proof of vaccination to enter Canada, would continue until at least September 30. According to the latest report, the federal government is announcing to not follow these criteria.

It is not yet clear what rules related to vaccination the government will change by the end of this month. An announcement in this regard is likely to be made soon in the coming days. It is also not clear whether the US will change these rules on the lines of Canada. But all travelers entering the US, who are not US citizens, still have to provide proof of full vaccination.

London: Another new variant of the corona virus’s omicron BA.4.6 has been found, which was earlier spreading rapidly in the US, now patients infected with it have also been confirmed in Britain.

The UK’s Health Protection Agency (UKHSA) has said in its report on covid variants that after August 14, samples of corona virus have been tested confirmed to have confirmed the new variant of Covid-19, Omicron BA.4.6. This new variant has been found in 3.3% of the samples that came for investigation. It is likely to spread rapidly.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the new variant of Omicron, BA.4.6, is expected to spread rapidly in the US. In recent times, there has been a 9% increase of its cases in the US. Not only this, this new variant of Omicron has also been identified in many other countries around the world. So far it is difficult to say how dangerous it can prove to be.

What is the new BA.4.6 variant of Omicron?

The new variant of the corona virus, omicron BA.4.6, is a new form of the earlier variant BA.4. BA.4 was first detected in South Africa in January 2022 and since then it has muted several times as a BA.5 variant and now has a new form BA.4.6. At the moment it is not entirely clear where BA.4.6 came from.

It is possible that this new variant of Omicron can also be dangerous. When two different types of SARS-CoV-2 infect the same person at the same time, it is called recombination.

The investigation report shows that BA.4.6 will be similar to BA.4 in many ways, also changing itself in the same way as spike protein. All variants of the coronavirus enter our cells due to proteins frozen on their surface. After mutating, viruses become more powerful and weaken the immune system by attacking our antibodies. New viruses also protect themselves from antibodies made from Covid vaccine

How dangerous will this new variant of Omicron be

Fortunately, infection with the new variant of Omicron has caused less severe disease so far and we have seen fewer deaths than before from Omicron. In such a situation, experts expect that this will also apply to BA.4.6. In fact, there has been no report yet on how dangerous this new version of Corona will be.

New Delhi: Researchers have developed a nasal anti-viral drug for COVID-19 that can reduce the spread of SARS-CoV2 from infected animals and limit its infection. By the time people are diagnosed with Covid-19, the virus has made inroads into their respiratory system.

At the same time, people remove invisible infectious elements from the body with every breath.

At present, medicines for covid-19 treatment are focused on the symptoms caused by the virus outbreak, but they have not shown much success towards preventing the spread of the infection.

Researchers from the Gladstone Institute in the US have previously developed a unique method for the treatment of infectious diseases, in which the drug is given from the nose in one dose that protects against severe infection of SARS-CoV2.

What was said in the study

In a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they show that this treatment called ‘Therapeutic Interfering Particle’ (TIP) reduces the infection of the virus from infected animals and also limits its spread.

“From a historical perspective, it has been extremely challenging for antivirals and vaccines to limit the transmission of respiratory viruses,” said researcher Lior Weinbergen.

“This study shows that nasal medication in a single dose of TIP reduces the spread of the virus from animals,” he said.

Weinberger and researcher Sonali Chaturvedi treated mice with SARS-CoV2 with antiviral TIP and then measured the number of viruses in their noses daily. He observed that viruses were counted less in the noses of the treated mice each time compared to those that have not been treated.
