The number of active COVID-19 cases in Baja California has more than doubled during the last week, and health officials blame the new ERIS variant.
Those who are unvaccinated against COVID-19 or are immunocompromised are the most vulnerable to a new omicron subvariant, public health officials said.
The WHO says new omicron subvariant EG.5 Eris is a virus of interest. It's reignited talk about vaccines and speculation about a return of the pandemic.
The Eris variant presents other indications, including headaches, hoarse voice, muscle aches, and an altered sense of smell.
The country’s coronavirus infections rebound, mirroring global trend, while immunity-evading EG.5 variant gains dominance, but experts say risk of severe illness and death remains low.
