Sekuyisikhathi eside kusukela kwaqala ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19. Sonke besikhuluma futhi sizwa ngalo, futhi mhlawumbe sesikhathele kancane manje. Kodwa, leli gciwane lisakhona. Ngezikhathi ezithile, sizwa ngezinhlobo ezintsha zaleli gciwane. Muva nje, uhlobo olusakazeke kakhulu emhlabeni wonke lubizwa ngokuthi i-Omicron. Ngakho-ke, namuhla sizokhuluma ngalolu hlobo lwe-Omicron, izimpawu zalo, nokuthi singazivikela kanjani.
Iyini le Omicron?
Kalula nje, i-Omicron uhlobo olusha lwegciwane olubangela i-COVID-19, igciwane le-SARS-CoV-2. Yaqala ukubonwa "njengohlobo lokukhathazeka" yi-World Health Organisation (WHO) ngoNovemba 2021. Ngokushesha yaba uhlobo oluvelele emhlabeni jikelele.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, kuye kwavela ezinye izinhlobo eziningana ze-Omicron. Izibonelo zifaka phakathi `(BA.2)`, `(BA.4)`, `(BA.5)`, kanye `(XBB.1.16)`. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ezinye zalezi zinhlobo ezincane zisakazeka ngokushesha kunezinye.
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi uhlobo lwe-Omicron kanye nezinhlobo zalo ezincane azimbi kangako kunezinhlobo zangaphambilini ezifana ne-Delta. Futhi umuthi wokugomela i-COVID-19 usanikeza ithuba elihle lokuvimbela ukulaliswa esibhedlela nokufa. Umuthi wokugomela omusha (ohlanganisa i-bivalent) onikezwayo njengamanje uhlose kokubili igciwane lokuqala kanye nohlobo lwe-Omicron.
Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuthola i-Omicron?
Uma ungakagonyelwa i-COVID-19, usengozini enkulu yokuthola noma yiluphi uhlobo lwe-COVID. Ngisho noma ugonyelwe, usengaba nesifo (ukutheleleka okuphawulekayo), kodwa uma wenza kanjalo, izimpawu zivame ukuba zincane futhi ingozi yokulaliswa esibhedlela iphansi kakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingozi yesifo esibi se-COVID-19 iphakeme uma kukhona izici ezilandelayo:
- Ukuguga: Ingozi iyanda njengoba amasosha omzimba ehla njengoba iminyaka ikhula.
- Isimiso somzimba sokuzivikela esibuthakathaka: Ingozi iba phezulu uma isimiso somzimba sokuzivikela sibuthakathaka ngenxa yezimo ezifana nomdlavuza, i-HIV, noma imithi ethile.
- Ezinye izifo: Abantu abanezifo ezingamahlalakhona njengesifo sikashukela, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile kanye nokwehluleka kwenhliziyo basengozini enkulu.
- Ukubhema: Abantu ababhemayo noma abake babhema esikhathini esidlule nabo basengozini enkulu.
Ziyini izimpawu ze-Omicron?
Izifundo zakuqala zikhombisile ukuthi izimpawu zohlobo lwe-Omicron zifana kakhulu nezomkhuhlane ovamile. Ngakho-ke, izimpawu ezivame ukubikwa zibhalwe kuthebula elingezansi.
| Izimpawu ezivamile ze-Omicron variant | |
|---|---|
| 🤧 Impumulo egobhozayo | 🤕 Ikhanda elibuhlungu |
| 😫 Ukukhathala/ukukhathala okukhulu | 🗣️ Umphimbo obuhlungu |
| 😷 Ukukhwehlela | 🤧 Ukuthimula |
Kodwa khumbula lokhu. Izimpawu ezijwayelekile ze-COVID, njengokukhwehlela , umkhuhlane, kanye nokulahlekelwa yiphunga noma ukunambitheka, zisabalulekile kunoma yiluphi uhlobo. Ngakho-ke qaphela lezi zimpawu futhi.
Lesi sifo singathelelana isikhathi esingakanani?
Isikhathi sokufukamela kwe-Omicron variant, isikhathi esithathwa yileli gciwane ukungena emzimbeni kanye nokuvela kwezimpawu, sifushane kunezinye izinhlobo. Cishe izinsuku ezintathu. Uma unesifo, ungasabalalisa igciwane kwabanye kusukela ezinsukwini ezi-1-2 ngaphambi kokuba izimpawu ziqale kuze kube yizinsuku ezi-2-3 ngemva kokuba izimpawu zinyamalale . Ngezinye izikhathi ungasabalalisa lesi sifo kwabanye noma ungenazo izimpawu.
Ake sifunde ngezinhlobo ezincane ze-Omicron
Igciwane le-Omicron nalo lishintshile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ladala izinhlobo eziningana ezintsha. Ake sibheke kafushane ezimbalwa zazo.
| Uhlobo olungaphansi | Ulwazi olubalulekile |
|---|---|
| I-BA.2 ("Inguqulo eyimfihlo") | Kwatholakala ukuthi iyathelelana njenge-Omicron yokuqala (BA.1), kodwa ubukhali besifo abuzange bubikwe ukuthi bukhulu kakhulu. |
| I-BA.4 kanye ne-BA.5 | Lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zazinomehluko 'kumaprotheni e-spike' egciwane. Lokhu kwazenza zakwazi ukugwema ama-antibodies akhule emzimbeni ngenxa yokugula kwangaphambilini noma ukugonywa futhi zitheleleke. Uhlobo lwe-BA.5 lwasakazeka ngokushesha kakhulu kune-BA.4. |
| I-XBB | Lolu hlobo, olwadalwa ngokuhlanganisa izinhlobo ezimbili ze-BA.2, lunamandla aphezulu okugwema amasosha omzimba. Ngakho-ke, ngisho nomuntu owayeke waba ne-Covid ngaphambili wayesengozini yokutheleleka kabusha. |
| EG.5 ("Eris") | Lolu hlobo, oluvela ku-XBB, lusakazeka ngokushesha okukhulu. Kodwa alutholakalanga ukuthi lubangela izifo ezimbi kakhulu kunezinhlobo zangaphambilini. |
Ukuxilongwa kanye nokwelashwa
Ukuze uthole ukuthi unegciwane le-COVID-19, udinga ukwenza ukuhlolwa kwe-COVID-19 . Ungenza ukuhlolwa kwe-Rapid Antigen ekhaya, noma ungavakashela udokotela bese uthola ukuhlolwa kwe-PCR. Ukuze wazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi uke watheleleka yini nge-Omicron variant, udinga ukwenza ukuhlolwa okuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, kodwa lokhu kuhlolwa akuvamile ukwenziwa kubo bonke iziguli.
Uma kukhulunywa ngokwelashwa, udokotela wakho uzonquma ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu ngokusekelwe ezicini zakho eziyingozi. Ungase unikezwe imithi yokulwa namagciwane noma ama-antibody e-monoclonal. Ama-Corticosteroids kanye nama-IL6 receptor blockers asasetshenziswa ngempumelelo kubantu abanesifo esibi kakhulu.
Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukufuna iseluleko sezokwelapha ngokushesha uma unezimpawu noma ucabanga ukuthi usengozini. Uma kuvela izimpawu ezinzima (ubunzima bokuphefumula, ubuhlungu besifuba), hamba uye eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) wesibhedlela ngokushesha.
Ingabe umuthi wokugomela i-Covid uvikela i-Omicron?
Yebo, impela! Imithi yokugomela i-COVID-19 yamanje kanye nemithamo yokuqinisa ibalulekile ekuvikeleni ukugula okubi, ukulaliswa esibhedlela, kanye nokufa okungabangelwa uhlobo lwe-Omicron.
Umuthi wokugomela i-`(Bivalent)` wenzelwe ngqo ukuvikela igciwane le-COVID lokuqala kanye nohlobo lwe-Omicron. Uma ufanelekile, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthola umthamo wokugomela. Imiphumela emibi emincane evela ekutholeni umuthi wokugomela i-booster (isb., ubuhlungu endaweni yomjovo, izinhlungu zomzimba, umkhuhlane omncane) izophela zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbalwa. Ungakhathazeki ngakho.
Ungazivikela kanjani ku-Omicron?
Kunezinto ezimbalwa ezilula esingazenza ukuze sizivikele ku-Omicron noma kunoma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lwe-Covid:
- Goma: Ukugoma kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokuvimbela ukugula okungathi sína okuvela ku-COVID-19. Thola yonke imithamo kanye nezikhuthazi ozidingayo.
- Gqoka imaski: Ukugqoka imaski yekhwalithi enhle ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi nangaphakathi kuzokuvikela wena nabanye.
- Gcina ukuqhelelana kwabantu: Zama ukugcina ibanga okungenani imitha elilodwa ukusuka kwabanye.
- Hlala uhlanzekile: Geza izandla zakho njalo ngensipho. Vula amafasitela futhi ugcine ikhaya lakho linomoya omuhle.
- Hlola uma unezimpawu: Uma unezimpawu, hlola, futhi uma kuqinisekisiwe, hlala kude nabanye.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Omicron uhlobo olusakazeka ngokushesha lwe-COVID-19, kodwa lesi sifo asibi kakhulu kunezinhlobo zangaphambilini.
- Izimpawu zivame ukufana nomkhuhlane ovamile, kodwa qaphela izimpawu ezifana nomkhuhlane, ukukhwehlela, kanye nokulahlekelwa yiphunga/ukunambitha.
- Ukugoma, ikakhulukazi ukuthola umthamo wokukhulisa, kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokuvikela ekuguleni okukhulu nasekufeni.
- Izinyathelo ezilula zokuzivikela njengokugqoka imaski, ukugeza izandla, kanye nokuqhelelana nabantu kusabaluleke kakhulu.
- Uma unezimpawu noma useqenjini elisengozini, ungangabazi ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho futhi ucele iseluleko.
