COVID-19 update
“world situation”
Last night, the World Health Organization just released the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Update on June 22, 2023.
Recently, the Omicron subspecies BQ.1 has been excluded from the list of monitored species. because the detection rate is very low
This leaves eight subspecies still under surveillance: XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, BA.2.75, CH.1.1, XBB, XBB.1.9.1, XBB.1.9.2, and XBB.2.3, two of them. The first is Variants of Interest (VOI) and the rest are classified as Variants under Monitoring (VUM).
For an overview of the detection of various subspecies Of the world until June 4, 2023, it was found that XBB.1.5 still occupies the highest proportion at 23.31%, with a steady decline.
while XBB.1.16 rose to 21.92%, followed by XBB.1.9.1 with 17.81% and XBB.1.9.2 with 12.05%, while XBB.2.3 saw a small increase, around 5%.
“A strain that is endemic in Tokyo Japan”
Data from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government up to 4 June 2023 shows that XBB.1.16 is the most common at 29.5% with a downward trend.
followed by XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.9.1 found 17.9% equally
while XBB.2.3 detects more quickly This increased from 10.6% last week to 16.1%.
“Re-infection in the Omicron era was tens of times higher than in the Delta era.”
The study report from the US CDC team was published in the journal MMWR on June 23, 2023.
From the track until the end of last year It was found that the rate of reinfection in the Omicron period was significantly higher than that in the Delta period.
by looking at those who are infected It was found that the rate of re-infection (Reinfection) in the Omicron era is 20-40 times greater than Delta.
While, if seen in patients who have to be admitted to the hospital. Found that reinfection in the Omicron era was 10-20 times more than Delta.
The results of this study are encouraging evidence to remind us of the importance of regular self-defense. Don’t be careless in daily life.
beware of crowded poor ventilation
Avoid eating and drinking with other people outside the home.
If you feel unwell, you should seek treatment immediately. If infected Samples should be isolated for at least 7-10 days until no symptoms and repeated ATK testing is negative.
wearing a mask correctly It will greatly reduce the risk.
protect yourself from infection Or don’t repeat, it’s the best.
Each time, the risk of getting sick, serious illness, death and Long COVID
