BA.5 New Covid virus growth rises rapidly!

BA.4 and BA.5 have their own unique mutations that can alter the ability of viral spike proteins to attach to host cells and bypass certain immune responses, including changes called L452R and F486V.
A pre-May edition found that BA.4 and BA.5 previously shared an origin with the Omicron strain.
Scientists in South Africa first identified it in April and later linked it to an increase in cases, with BA.4 and BA.5 being the latest members of the growing coronavirus subspecies in Omicron. They have been identified in dozens of countries around the world.
The BA.4 and BA.5 subtypes are on the rise globally because they can spread faster than other circulating varieties – most likely BA.2, which led to an increase in cases at the beginning of the year. But so far, the latest Omicron strains seem to cause fewer deaths and hospitalizations than their older siblings – a sign that a growing population is becoming less immune to the immediate effects of increased COVID-19 immunity.
Dr. Chandima Jeewandara, Head of the Department of Allergy Immunology and Cell Biology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sri Jayewardenepura says that this has been named BA.5 and no new strains of the virus have been identified in the country.
Scientist Chandima Jeewandara says that this new world has now been reported from 63 countries and that Covid 19 has expanded beyond the leading community.
