A new strain of COVID-19 is emerging in the UK and may have a serious impact on children. This strain, known as BA.3.2, has been seen to be increasing in cases across the country. Experts warn that it could become the main variant soon.
Professor Gupta, a health expert, said, "It has been found in the UK, has been increasing in prevalence, and I would expect it to become the dominant strain. BA.3.2 is undergoing testing right now." He added, "We have been looking at it in terms of immune evasion and the immunity that we've all got."
Medical officials are closely monitoring this new variant. There are concerns it may not respond well to existing vaccines. Parents are encouraged to keep an eye on any symptoms in their children and consult health services if necessary.
