Since the beginning of the pandemic, many new mutations of the emerging corona virus have appeared, the last of which was the omicron mutant, but is omicron the last of the corona virus mutant? According to the World Health Organization, the answer is short "no." The pandemic is not over yet, but the World Health Organization has warned that more dangerous mutations will appear soon.

In a recent session held by the World Health Organization, during which the future expectations of the Corona pandemic were discussed, the organization warned of the possibility of the emergence of a new mutated virus that may be more dangerous than its predecessors, as according to the organization, the current pandemic is not over yet.
WHO: We are currently monitoring 4 new mutant
According to the World Health Organization, there are many indicators that the world may soon witness the emergence of a mutant that is more capable of spreading than its predecessors. The new mutant, herein lies the question that we don't have an answer for yet.
The World Health Organization has recently stated that it has put 4 new mutant under observation, all of which are sub-mutants of the Omicron mutant, where researchers are closely monitoring these mutant moment by moment.
A recurring pattern that calls for caution
The end of the year 2020 witnessed the emergence of the delta mutant, which subsequently became the most dominant and widespread corona mutant, and this mutant also caused a high death rate from corona around the world due to its serious complications.
A year after the emergence of the delta mutant, a new mutant was detected in South Africa, the omicron mutant, which the World Health Organization classified as a worrisome mutant.
After conducting a lot of research on omicron, it was found that it is one of the most rapidly spreading omicron mutant, but at the same time it was found that it often does not cause any serious complications, although it may penetrate the acquired immunity to corona, whether achieved by receiving vaccines or that The body was born from a previous injury.
The continuous emergence of new mutations, even if they are weak, would pave the way for the emergence of other mutations, and there is no guarantee that they will have minor consequences.
How can you protect yourself from infection with any new mutant?
Although the future still seems foggy, preventive measures are present and available, on top of which is receiving basic and supportive doses of vaccines, a measure that may reduce the chances of developing serious and fatal health complications for Corona, even if it does not completely protect against infection with the virus.
And because the strength of immunity acquired from vaccines declines with time, which has been shown by many studies to date, experts recommend continuing to adhere to the globally generalized prevention measures, and these include measures such as:
Wearing face masks correctly and regularly.
Wash hands and use hand sanitizer regularly.
Avoid crowded places, and adhere to the rules of social distancing.
Buying a home Corona test, to be used in the event of any symptoms similar to those of a cold, taking care to isolate from others until the results appear.
