Sars-cov-2 – the most dangerous variants

Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged worldwide, scientists and health authorities have been monitoring various aspects of the virus, including its mutations and variants. In this article, we will discuss the most important and most disturbing variants of SARS-CoV-2, paying attention to monitoring the epidemic situation and updating the nomenclature.

Monitoring the Covid-19 epidemic situation

Global monitoring of the COVID-19 epidemic situation is a key tool in preventing and controlling the spread of the virus. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and public health agencies around the world are tracking the levels of infections, hospitalizations and mortality related to COVID-19. Thanks to this data, it is possible to identify areas where particularly dangerous variants occur.

Vogi, voc, vohc – what do these abbreviations mean?

These abbreviations refer to different categories of SARS-CoV-2 variants. “VOGI” is an abbreviation for “Variant of Global Interest.” These variants are being monitored for their potential to introduce changes in virus transmission, vaccine resistance or disease severity. “VOC” stands for “Variant of Concern,” a variant that requires special surveillance due to more concerning characteristics, such as increased transmissibility or vaccine resistance. “VOHC” stands for “Variant of High Consequence,” which means a variant with a high potential to cause serious health consequences or low treatment effectiveness.

Sars-cov-2 variants – nomenclature update

The nomenclature of SARS-CoV-2 variants is regularly updated to facilitate communication and public understanding. Previously used geographic names were replaced by more neutral designations such as alpha, beta, gamma and delta. This change aims to avoid stigmatization and misinformation related to place names.

The most disturbing variants of sars-cov-2

There are currently several variants of SARS-CoV-2 that are of particular concern due to their properties. The delta variant, originally from India, is more transmissible and able to evade some of the vaccine-induced immunity. The omicron variant, originating in South Africa, has rapidly gained popularity due to the large number of mutations in the virus’s spike protein, which can affect its transmission and evasion of immunization.
