Discover the symptoms of the new Covid FLiRT variant sweeping across Ireland. Are you mistaking it for something else? Find out here!

As Covid cases surge, a new variant named FLiRT is causing concern in Ireland. This variant, along with the LB.1 strain, is spreading rapidly, leading to confusion among people experiencing symptoms. Symptoms of these variants include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and muscle aches, often resembling a common cold or seasonal allergies. Top NHS doctors are urging people to self-isolate if experiencing these symptoms as hospitalizations increase. With large gatherings contributing to the spread, identifying the FLiRT and LB.1 symptoms is crucial.

Experts warn that the FLiRT variant has unique changes in its spike protein, possibly making it more transmissible than previous strains. As the summer wave of Covid-19 hits the UK, distinguishing between Covid symptoms and other illnesses like hay fever becomes challenging. However, a persistent cough remains a key indicator of Covid infection. Additionally, reports show Covid cases spiking again in several states in the US, highlighting the importance of vigilance and preventive measures.

In California, rising Covid hospital visits underscore the changing landscape of the pandemic, prompting health officials to recommend a new vaccine for the upcoming fall. The LB.1 variant is also causing concern, fueling the current summer wave of Covid infections. As the FLiRT variants KP.3 and KP.2 contribute to the surge in the US, people are advised to stay cautious and adhere to safety protocols to curb the spread.

With the summer holiday season in full swing, the risk of 'Covid FLiRT roulette' looms large, with reports of reinfections and rising hospitalizations. Some individuals are finding it challenging to differentiate between Covid symptoms and other respiratory issues. Health experts recommend new protocols for managing Covid infections, emphasizing the need for timely testing and isolation to prevent further spread.
