Health experts across the globe have raised alarms about a new Covid variant known as XEC, which is on the rise and believed to be "just getting started".
How can you stay safe? The best way to protect yourself from the latest Covid variant is to continue taking the same precautions as before, including staying up-to-date with vaccines and booster shots. While vaccines may not completely prevent infection, they are still the most effective defence against serious illness, hospitalisation, and death.
If you develop any symptoms or have been in contact with an infected person, you should isolate to prevent further spread of the virus.
