THE Kraken COVID-19 variant is on the Rock and could create a new wave of the pandemic, Gibraltar's health authority warned.

But the variant that is racing through the USA was not responsible for December’s surge of cases, Public Health Gibraltar said in a statement.

It added that although the Kraken variant was able to evade natural and acquired immunity from vaccines, ‘there is no indication it causes more severe disease or deaths’. Scientists believe Kraken, which is related to Omicron, is the most contagious coronavirus variant yet. For now, the Gibraltar Health Authority (GHA) did not want to overreact, instead choosing to ‘monitor the development of this strain,’ it said in a statement.

“The recommendation is to continue with the current level of enhanced response,” the GHA said.

There is currently no cure for dementia.

There are anti-dementia medicines and disease-modifying therapies, but they have limited efficacy and are primarily labelled for Alzherimer’s disease.

There are, however, numerous new treatments in various stages of clinical trials.

DID you bring any leftover Roscon de Reyes cake into the office this January… or a pile of sweets picked up by your kids in the Three Kings parade? Then you could be guilty of encouraging a habit as bad as passive smoking, according to experts.

Professor Susan Jebb, chairwoman of the UK’s Food Standards Agency, said while it is a choice to eat sweet treats - as it was a choice to enter ‘smoky pubs’ - people can help each other by providing a ‘supportive environment’.

“We all like to think we’re rational, intelligent, educated people who make informed choices the whole time, and we undervalue the impact of the environment,” she said.

“If nobody brought cakes into the office, I would not eat cakes during the day, but because people do bring cakes in, I eat them. Now, OK, I have made a choice, but people were making a choice to go into a smoky pub.

The GHA still recommends testing for anyone with COVID-19 symptoms.

“We want to reassure the public that this is expected as we continue to move through the pandemic,” Director of Public Health Helen Carter said. “We must keep testing, and even if you test negative, please stay at home if you have symptoms of high fever, and do not visit your loved ones at SBH and ERS”.

Cake up call

“With smoking, after a very long time we have got to a place where we understand that individuals have to make some effort but that we can make their efforts more successful by having a supportive environment.

“We still don’t feel like that about food.”

Professor Jebb also insisted on restrictions on junk food adverts.

“The businesses with the most money have the biggest influence on people’s behaviour.”

A 2019 study found over 40% of Spanish children aged six to nine were over their recommended weight.

Last year, the Spanish government announced plans to ban influencers from advertising junk food to children.
