Experts Warn Of New COVID Variant KP3 From Japan Potentially Spreading To India

Despite the waning intensity of COVID-19 fears, a new variant, KP3, is causing concern as it spreads rapidly in Japan. There are growing concerns about its potential arrival in India. According to Experts KP3 is highly contagious and can affect even those who are vaccinated. The variant exhibits symptoms similar to earlier strains, including high fever, sore throat, headache, extreme fatigue, and loss of smell and taste.

Although COVID-19 remains under control in India, experts warn that the new variant could potentially spread to the country. With the possibility of a new wave in Japan and recent cases of other variants like Flirt in the U.S., vigilance is crucial. Experts notes that while vaccines may offer some protection, the full effectiveness against KP3 will be confirmed through further research.

In the meantime, it’s essential for people to continue taking precautions, avoid crowded places, and consult healthcare professionals if symptoms arise, especially during the rainy season when the virus tends to spread more rapidly.
