If the infectious dose were lower for this variant, this might increase the relative importance of measures to reduce the risk of airborne transmission, in particular (e.g., ventilation). Measures to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission are crucial and will become increasingly important as COVID-19 hospital admissions increase. Updated guidance has recently been published on this and now needs to be implemented within the NHS.
The signal has been there in cases for some days now egMeanwhile I am starting to see older age groups showing up in hospital admission statistics for the North West. Also starting to see increase in the figures which imply hospital transmission.
