Summer 2024: New Covid Variant Discovered In Texas, Here’s What We Know

Texas will have to get ready appropriately once more. According to a statement issued by News Nation, there may be another COVID-19 outbreak this summer. Two novel COVID-19 variants have been detected, which may cause a summer surge.

The two COVID variants are referred to as KP two in science, and KP one is known as “FLiRT” because of the strand mutation. Evidence has indicated that the variation may be more transmissible and may impact people more who have already been infected or have received vaccinations. Those who have received all recommended vaccination shots may be less likely to be at danger. Though the death rate has not increased, there have been hints that the variation has already led to more hospitalizations. It is important to remember that both of the variants are relatively young viruses, so the numbers may alter in the future.

In other words, if you experience symptoms like a runny nose, headache, fever, chills, breathing difficulties, muscular pains, coughing, exhaustion, or even a sore throat, it's likely caused by one of the new types of COVID-19. This symptom could indicate that you have an infection with the "FLiRT" mutant virus. The only way to stop this from happening is to carry on with the practices we have been following here in Texas. By making sure that we are washing our hands, wearing masks, and practicing social distancing, we can also stop any kind of respiratory infection from spreading. If you have the symptoms, you should, at the very least, stay indoors until you've had the COVID test and given yourself a full day to recover from your fever before you interact with people. We are requesting that you exercise caution and be safe because there is a significant chance that something dangerous is developing in Texas this summer.
