READ HERE<\/a><\/strong>: Scientists are calling for people to start wearing face masks again<\/a> amid a worrying Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) variant “mutation.”<\/h3>\n

The warning comes as the latest data showed that EG.5, a subvariant of omicron, now accounts for 1 in 10 COVID cases – while the number of people recorded with the virus jumped from an estimated 3.3 per 100,000 to 7.2 in less than a month.<\/p>\n

But a brand new variant referred to as BA.6 has led some to fear that a bleak coronavirus picture could emerge in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

While it has only been found in two countries so far, Denmark and Israel, one expert has claimed the new sub-strain is already showing an alarming tendency to mutate \u2013 noting that it has left a number of her peers concerned. Experts believe that the variant has over 30 mutations in its spike protein \u2013 the part of the virus that latches onto human cells and causes an infection.<\/p>\n
