The battle against Covid has taken a sharp turn with the arrival of two fresh variants: Stratus and Nimbus. Experts are sounding the alarm after spotting a brutal new symptom – a hoarse or “razor blade” sore throat – sweeping through those infected.
Covid Cases Surge Again as New Variants Spread
George Sandhu, deputy superintendent at Well Pharmacy, urges anyone feeling these tell-tale signs to get tested immediately. Infection numbers are climbing fast. Latest government stats show 447 new cases recorded in the week to September 24 – that’s a 22% jump in just a week. Hospital admissions are up too, with 157 patients admitted up to August 31, a rise of more than 15%.
Remember, if you’re feeling the sting of a sore throat that cuts like a razor, don’t ignore it. Grab a test and stay safe – the fight against Covid is far from over.
