New COVID-19 Variant NB.1.8.1 Spreads Globally Amid Symptom and Vaccine Updates
A new Covid variant, NB.1.8.1, has emerged, spreading across several countries including Ireland, the UK, and popular holiday destinations, with symptoms more related to the digestive system such as diarrhea, nausea, and constipation, alongside traditional symptoms like sore throat and fatigue. The variant appears to spread more easily and may partially evade immunity, but is not yet linked to increased severity of illness.
