Professor Francois Balloux, director of the Institute of Genetics at University College London, said that although XEC had a “slight transmission advantage” compared to other recent strains of Covid, vaccines still provided good protection.
What are the symptoms of the XEC coronavirus variant and are they similar to the symptoms of the common cold?
Symptoms of the new Corona mutant are:

After infection with the new mutant, when does the body begin to recover?

How can we prevent the new Corona mutant “XEC”?
There are many practices that must be done to protect against the new Corona mutant, including:
– Wear a mask, especially in crowded places.
