Hybrid Immunity Protects Better Against Hospitalisation and Severe COVID Infection 19/01/2023 Megha Kaveri Hybrid immunity from a combination of being vaccinated and previously infected with COVID-19 offers better protection against hospitalisation and severe infection than immunity simply from a previous infection, according to a new study in The Lancet. People with hybrid immunity were 97.4% less likely to be hospitalised or suffer severe infection at 12 months, whereas those […] Continue reading -> Most Long COVID Symptoms ‘Resolve’ within 12 Months 16/01/2023 Maayan Hoffman Most long COVID symptoms are resolved within a year of diagnosis, according to the results of a retrospective Israeli study published last week in the peer-reviewed BMJ medical journal. “Our study suggests that mild COVID-19 patients are at risk for a small number of health outcomes and most of them are resolved within a year […] Continue reading -> Mask up, WHO Urges as it Cuts COVID-19 Isolation Recommendation 16/01/2023 Maayan Hoffman The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for stricter masking policies and reduced isolation time recommendations for people with COVID-19 isolation, the organization announced on Friday. Patients who test positive for COVID-19 but do not have signs or symptoms are now recommended to isolate for five days in the absence of testing, WHO suggested – […] Continue reading -> UK Scientists Launch Genomic Surveillance System for Respiratory Viruses 12/01/2023 Stefan Anderson British scientists have launched a new initiative to expand the sequencing of common seasonal respiratory viruses with the aim of developing an early warning system for new viral threats and help prevent future pandemics. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, labs around the world were sequencing tens of thousands of Sars-CoV-2 genomes a day.
