According to an internal memo at the National Obstetric Fistula Centre in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, a new and more hazardous COVID-19 strain has been discovered.
The document, dated August 22, 2023, and signed by Dr. Yakubu E. N., discourages embracing and suggests donning double face masks instead.
Dr. Yakubu claims that the new variety, sometimes referred to as “BA.4 and BA.5 COVID delta,” manifests itself in various ways, including with “a lot of joint pain, headache, neck and upper back pain, general weakness, loss of appetite, and pneumonia.”
He continues, saying that this variation is “more virulent and with a higher fatality rate,” but warns that it “takes less time to develop to extremes. Without symptoms at times.
The advisory also cautions that nasal swab testing for the new strain are frequently inaccurate.The memo reads, “This strain does not live in the nasopharyngeal region. Now it directly affects the lungs, which means that the “windows” periods are shorter. There have been several patients without fever, without pain, but who report mild chest pneumonia on their X-rays. Nasal swab tests are very often negative for COVID-19, and there are more and more false negative results from nasopharyngeal tests.
“This means that the virus spreads and spreads directly to the lungs, causing acute respiratory stress caused by viral pneumonia. This explains why it has become sharp, more virulent, and deadly. Please, be extremely careful.
“Avoid crowded places, keep 1.5 distance even in open places, double face masks, and wash your hands often (and when you cough or sneeze). Please no hugs, it is very dangerous at the moment, as almost everyone is asymptomatic.
“This “wave” is much more deadly than the first, so we have to be VERY careful and take every kind of precaution.
“Do not keep this information to yourself; share it as much as you can, especially with your friends.”
