New Covid Variants Nimbus and Stratus Surge Across Populations, Bringing Unusual Symptoms and Raising Concerns Among Health Experts, While Scientists Monitor Transmission, Vaccine Efficacy, and Public Safety Measures Closely, Urging Communities to Stay Vigilant, Report Emerging Patterns, and Adapt to the Rapidly Evolving Pandemic Landscape for Better Protection and Awareness.
