An Omicron subvariant also known as Eris or EG.5.1, was initially classified as a variant in the United Kingdom (UK) and has since gained attention from health authorities worldwide for its transmission characteristics and impact on public health measures.
Key Characteristics of EG.5.1
The EG.5.1 subvariant has shown increased transmissibility compared to previous variants, making rapid and accurate testing even more crucial for containing spread and protecting vulnerable populations.
The Continued Importance of Testing
With the emergence of new variants like EG.5.1, rapid antigen testing remains a vital tool for early detection and infection control. At-home testing provides individuals with quick results, enabling prompt isolation and treatment decisions.
