NEW COVID-19 VARIANT INCREASING CASES AND REINFECTIONS, HEALTH EXPERTS SAY

As highly contagious COVID-19 variants spread, more families are being impacted.

But what if you already had COVID? Can you count on some natural protection?

Channel 2′s Linda Stouffer talked to doctors about what we know now about COVID
variants and reinfections.

Most COVID cases right now in Georgia are this super contagious BA.5 variant.

This variant is finding people who have avoided COVID so far and the people who
already had COVID and thought they would be protected.

“Your prior protection against omicron is not going to help you with this new
strain,” Dr. Saju Matthew at Piedmont Healthcare says.

Dr. Matthew says if you already had COVID even earlier this year, it may not
help protect you now.

“You see here in the office with omicron, I was seeing patients with colds and
congestions, upper respiratory infections, but now it’s actually going deep in
the lungs, patients are coughing, patients are having wheezing like symptoms.
And if you had omicron few months ago, unfortunately, because of these
mutations, you do not have protection against BA.5,” Dr. Matthew says.

At Grady Memorial Hospital, chief of staff Dr. Robert Jansen says they are
seeing a spike in patients and staff testing positive for COVID-19.

“I think that what’s happening with BA.5 is that it is so transmissible and
because of these mutations, it’s really a different virus. It attacks you more
quickly, it penetrates the lungs more quickly. And also because it’s evading the
vaccine,” he says.

Both doctors say the best protection we have from severe COVID are the COVID
vaccines. And the medical community is hoping in a few months variant specific
boosters will be ready.

Story continues

“So if you looked early in the pandemic, the immunity seemed to last longer. But
that’s because those early variants were not resistant,” Dr. Jansen says. “As
time has gone on, and the viruses evolved, it escapes immunity, that’s the
natural history of viruses. So, I don’t know if the immunity is waning, per se,
or it’s just the escape from the immunity that we’re seeing with the new
variants.”

Gene sequencing company Helix says out of nearly 300,000 infections since March
2020 through 2021, reinfections have almost doubled.

Going from 3.6% during the BA.2 wave in May to 6.4% during BA.5 in July.
