Citizens receive urgent COVID-19 alert from Health Ministry

Fresh Take:

While the health situation in Kazakhstan remains relatively stable, health authorities are keeping a close eye on the ongoing rise of the Omicron variant and new cases weekly. On average, 25 cases pop up across the nation each week. Hospital occupancy for COVID-19 patients hovers at around 27%, and intensive care is at 2%. Right now, just two individuals are under treatment for the virus with a moderate degree of severity.

The Ministry of Health encourages everyone to take basic precautions to protect themselves and others, such as:

  • Maintaining a distance from people displaying respiratory symptoms;
  • Frequent handwashing, especially after contact with sick individuals or their environment;
  • Regular ventilation of indoor spaces;
  • Seeking medical attention if any symptoms appear.

Previously, studies have suggested that some individuals who have suffered from COVID-19 might face an increased susceptibility to other diseases due to temporary immune system alterations post-recovery. However, this is an area of ongoing research with more answers awaited.

Recent findings indicate that reinfections with COVID-19 are less likely to result in long-lasting symptoms compared to the initial infection. Nevertheless, the high transmission rate of omicron variants means a substantial cumulative burden of long COVID cases at the population level.

The World Health Organization (WHO) continues to examine SARS-CoV-2 variants, immune responses, and conduct ongoing research to understand the lingering effects of the disease and guide vaccination strategies to minimize its impacts and complications.

  1. I am committed to staying updated on the latest research, paying particular attention to studies about the potential effects of COVID-19 on medical-conditions, mental-health, and overall health-and-wellness.
  2. In light of the ongoing Omicron variant and potential long-term effects of COVID-19, I believe that seeking medical attention when symptoms appear is crucial, especially for maintaining mental-health and ensuring timely therapies-and-treatments if needed.
  3. As a responsible individual, I recognize the importance of following the Ministry's advice in preventing the spread of COVID-19, including maintaining distance, practicing regular hygiene, and ensuring proper ventilation to protect myself and others, as part of my commitment to science and health.
