KKM: Delta variant can grow in the noses 德尔塔变种病毒可在鼻子里繁殖

Delta Variant 德尔塔变种

• More contagious 传染性更高

• Symptoms are similar to the original version - Headache, runny nose, sore throat 症状与原型病毒株相似，症状包括头痛、流鼻水、喉咙痛

• Deteriorate quicker 病情转恶极快

• Contributes to higher risk of COVID-19 related hospitalisation 导致更严重的病情，住院率更高

A new study finds that Delta variant can grow in the noses of vaccinated people as strongly as in unvaccinated people. The virus that grows is just as infectious as that in unvaccinated people. Vaccinated people can transmit the virus and infect others.

一项研究显示，德尔塔变种病毒可在已接种者的鼻子里繁殖，与完全未接种的人情况一样。生长的病毒与未接种者一样具有传染性。即使已接种冠病疫苗，感染者依然能够将病毒传染给其他人。

Frequent nasal douching by nasal spray can help to clean the bacteria and viruses in the nose. Potential antiviral agents for intranasal use include Xylitol.

经常使用鼻腔喷雾剂来清洗鼻腔有助于清洁鼻腔中的细菌和病毒，其中一种用于鼻腔喷雾剂的有效抗病毒成份包括木糖醇。

Xylitol forms a protective barrier in the nostrils, having an unique activity to reduce viral loads. It can be used for prophylactic regimen for antibacterial and antiviral pathogens.

木糖醇在鼻孔中形成保护层，并且减少病毒数量。它可用于抗菌和抗病毒病原体的预防方案。
