Most cases are caused by the Omicron EG.5 and KH.3 subvariants. These two subvariants even account for more than 70 percent of the cases found.
“Currently, there is no indication that the main subvariant is more transmissible or causes more severe disease than other circulating variants,” MOH said in his statement, citing Channel News Asia.
EG.5 itself is a derivative of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is the one that dominates the transmission of COVID-19.
Symptoms COVID-19 subvarian EG.5
Basically, until now there is no strong data regarding the symptoms of COVID-19 subvariant EG.5. However, experts believe that most of the symptoms tend to be mild.
Infectious disease expert at Norton Children’s Infectious Disease Kristina K Bryant said she found that most EG.5 patients experienced symptoms similar to other Omicron subvariants.
“Some people even say they think they are allergic. However, EG.5 really needs to be paid attention to because it is quite dominant,” said Bryant, citing Health.
Following are some signs of Covid-19 subvariant EG.5.
