A new Covid variant which appears to result in people testing positive for longer has prompted a warning from an expert.
The emergence of the Omicron XE variant is testament to the notion that Covid-19 will continue to adapt, and that members of the public and health authorities need to remain vigilant as the virus evolves, immunologist Denis Kinane said.
Professor Kinane, Leading Immunologist and Founding Scientist of Cignpost Diagnostics, told The Mirror that data is showing people testing positive for 10 or more days with this variant.
