The epidemic situation in European countries is starting to worsen. In Germany, even the sixth wave caused by Omikron and its more infectious sub-variant – BA.2, are already mentioned. Can we also speak of worsening circumstances in Poland again? To check this, we asked the Ministry of Health for the latest data on the reproductive rate of the virus. Here are the data for Poland and individual provinces.

  1. The virus reproduction rate (R index) tells about the infectivity of the pathogen at a given moment. On this basis, we learn how many people can be infected by one sick person
  2. When the R index does not exceed 1, we are dealing with the extinction of the epidemic. However, if it is higher than 1, then it is a wave lifting arm
  3. At the moment, neither Poland nor any of the 16 voivodships exceed 1. In the case of one region, such a high R index is close

R indicator for Poland and all voivodships. Where is he tallest?

As for the average result for Poland, the virus reproduction rate for our country is now 0,91. The situation is best in the Lubuskie, Śląskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodships, where the R index does not exceed 0,87. Only a slightly higher result, 0,88, is currently recorded in the Podlaskie and Podkarpackie voivodeships.

At the other extreme, there is the Lublin region with the highest reproduction rate – it is 0,98, so it is really close to 1, which is a sign of a bad epidemic situation. The situation is slightly better in the Małopolskie and Zachodniopomorskie voivodships, where the R index is now 0,94.

Epidemic data for Poland. It is the worst in these three voivodships

The R indicator determines how many people are infected by one person infected with the coronavirus. It is assumed that when this number is lower than 1, the epidemic situation in a given area is calming down. However, if the virus reproduction rate is higher than 1, we can speak of a wave of infections.

In Poland, the fifth wave caused by the Omikron variant has basically ended. However, the specter of further increases is already on the horizon – mainly due to the even more infectious sub-variant BA.2, which may soon become our dominant line. Option BA.2 is already spreading throughout Europe and Asia, responsible for record increases in the number of coronavirus infections.

  1. Also check: The number of people infected with the coronavirus is rising dramatically in European countries. There are two reasons

On March 16, 14 thousand jobs were confirmed in our country. 480 new COVID-19 cases. The day before, there were 12 thousand. 695. Excluding weekends, when the data is reported late, and therefore the numbers are lower, the daily number of infections amounts to several thousand. has been running continuously since February 22. Of course, these are less alarming numbers than a few weeks ago, when up to 55 were infected daily. people, but the fact remains that many people are infected with the coronavirus all the time or require hospitalization.

The rest of the article is available under the video.

Currently, the worst situation in terms of the number of infections is in the Mazowieckie (2 thousand 473), Wielkopolskie (1741) and Dolnośląskie (1202) provinces.

Variant BA.2 may soon dominate in Poland. What are the symptoms?

European and Asian countries are facing sharp increases in new coronavirus infections, largely due to the Omikron sub-variant BA.2. It is more infectious than its predecessor, and at the same time so different from other variants that it relatively easily evades PCR tests. This means that an infection is best recognized by its symptoms – which in turn can prevent further transmission of the virus. So, if we recognize characteristic symptoms in ourselves, it is worth choosing self-isolation.

At the moment, there are no studies carried out on large groups of people that would allow to create a rigid list of ailments occurring in infection with the BA.2 sub-variant. However, there are already suggestions that the pathogen causes dizziness and fatigue. Other possible symptoms of BA.2 infection are:

  1. fever
  2. cough
  3. sore throat
  4. headache
  5. muscle pain
  6. elevated heart rate
