"Unraveling the Eris COVID Subvariant: Symptoms, Transmission, and Implications"

The highly contagious Eris subvariant, officially known as EG.5, is currently the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the US, accounting for the largest proportion of infections. It has led to an increase in hospital admissions and deaths related to the virus. Eris symptoms are similar to previous strains, including fever, fatigue, cough, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. Health experts warn that Eris may be more adept at evading antibodies from previous infections or vaccinations. While there is no specific vaccine for Eris, it is believed that the upcoming booster shots will provide some level of protection against the subvariant.
