COVID cases are back on the rise around the nation and here in Cleveland, and doctors say this new strain is causing severe symptoms.
“Patients just seem sick with this variant,” said Dr. Amy Edwards, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.“We’re getting a lot more people complaining of fever for a prolonged period of time, like five, or six or seven days,” said Dr. Edwards. “Sore throat seems to be... just really bad sore throat for multiple days.”It’s still under the Omicron family and that means it’s going around fast.
“The strain is so contagious and immunity is so fleeting, that you can just get re-infected,” said Dr. Edwards.According to the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, in the last four weeks, cases have risen from just over 1,200 to nearly 1,500.To make matters worse, the vaccine many have gotten to protect themselves is losing efficacy.
