Unraveling the Impact of the Eris COVID Subvariant and Other Concerning Variants

The U.S. is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases due to the highly transmissible Eris subvariant, which accounts for the majority of new cases. Eris is a descendant of the omicron subvariant and can elude antibodies from immunity or previous vaccinations. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, cough, headache, sore throat, and more. While there is no specific vaccine for Eris yet, health officials believe the upcoming booster shots will provide some protection.

"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.

Rising Positivity Rate in San Diego Linked to Dominance of Eris Subvariant

The Eris subvariant has become the dominant strain of COVID-19 in San Diego County, as confirmed by the latest data release. Positivity rates in the county have reached their highest levels in months, coinciding with a summer spike in cases and the upcoming return of students to classrooms. The Eris variant is associated with a growing number of hospitalizations nationwide and an 11.8% positivity rate in San Diego County. With the fall season approaching, when cases tend to increase, health experts are concerned about the potential for further spread. Vaccination, particularly with the Bivalent vaccine, is recommended to prevent hospitalizations, and parents are encouraged to ensure their children are vaccinated before the school year begins.

The Impact of Subvariant Eris on COVID-19 Cases

A new coronavirus subvariant called Eris, also known as EG.5, is rapidly spreading across the United States and is now estimated to be the most common subvariant nationwide, surpassing other variants like Arcturus (XBB.1.16). While Eris may have a potential immune-escape advantage, health officials emphasize that it is still a subset variant of Omicron and may not necessarily cause a significant surge in cases. COVID-19 transmission has been increasing, and California is seeing an upswing in Eris cases. However, hospitalizations and deaths remain relatively low, and the upcoming autumn version of the COVID-19 vaccine is expected to provide good cross-coverage against circulating variants.
