Epidemiologist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Christiana Batselova stated that the new variant of Covid-19, called Nimbus, is more contagious, but so far there is no evidence that it causes a more severe course of the disease.
Personally, she sees no reason to worry.
At present, there is no evidence that Nimbus or NB.1.8.1 is more severe than previous variants of the virus, the epidemiologist noted.
