Dr. Teera pointed out the XBB.1.16 subspecies.
immune resistance
found an increase in the number of infections in the country
Warning to avoid crowded places
Department of Medical Services adds vaccination points
It is recommended to wear a mask to reduce the risk of contracting COVID.
“Mr. Teera” updates the situation of COVID The XBB.1.16 subspecies were increasingly detected. Immune resistance while the “Department of Medicine” opens the COVID-19 vaccination point according to subordinate agencies to build immunity and serve the public both in Bangkok and other provinces prevent the spread of new strains
On April 22, Assoc. Chulalongkorn University Post a message via Facebook Thira Woratanarat stating the message Yesterday, the world added 56,942 people, 281 more deaths, a total of 686,317,328 people, and a total of 6,858,960 deaths. The top 5 most infected are South Korea, Japan, France, Russia and Australia. As of yesterday, in the number of new infections, countries from Europe and Asia occupied seven of the top 10 and 16 of the top 20 globally. The number of new infections per day around the world right now from Asia and Europe Together, it accounted for 82.8 percent of the world, while the number of deaths accounted for 85.05 percent.
XBB.1.16 Update from WHO The World Health Organization published a report on the risk assessment of the Omicron subspecies XBB.1.16 on April 17, 2023. Many countries have reported a higher proportion of detections of XBB.1.16, but current data assessed that the global risk is still low due to immune resistance And the severity of the disease from XBB.1.16 is still the same as the original outbreak.
However, it is expected to increase the number of cases in countries and may account for the majority of the outbreak in some countries. because of the high diffusion efficiency and degree of immune resistance
The World Health Organization has classified XBB.1.16 as Variants of Interest (VOI) alongside XBB.1.5, while the other six subspecies are listed as Variants under Monitoring (VUM).
XBB.1.16 evaluation results from Peking University team Last night, Cao YR published the performance study data of XBB.1.16. It was found that the level of immune resistance of XBB.1.16 was the same as that of XBB.1.5 (consistent with the results from the Peking University team). Yale University, USA previously released)
It was also found that The binding capacity of the ACE2 receptor at the cell surface was also similar.
Meanwhile, a new closely watched subspecies, XBB.1.5.10, with an additional mutation location, F456L, is more immune-resistant. with reduced binding capacity to ACE2 receptors on the cell surface
Cao YR has hypothesized that The mutation of XBB.1.16, which has a mutational location at K478, is likely due to frequent reinfection. Whether it was a person who was previously infected with a delta strain and re-infected with Omicron or a person who was re-infected with Omicron strains.
Impact on cognitive memory following infection with COVID-19 Herrera E et al from Spain. Published in the journal Scientific Reports on April 19, the study was conducted among people who had previously been infected with COVID-19. 214 people who were diagnosed according to the criteria for Post-COVID syndrome (Long COVID) of the World Health Organization, aged 26-64 years, most of them female (85%), indicated that Young people have cognitive and memory problems following being infected with COVID-19. more than the elderly
The above information reinforces our awareness of the importance of self-defense.
Not infected or not re-infected is the best situation in Thailand right now. There are more infections around. Should use daily life consciously, not carelessly, beware of sharing food and belongings with others outside the home. avoid crowded places poor ventilation wearing a mask correctly It will greatly reduce the risk.
while the Department of Medical Services opened the COVID-19 vaccination point subordinate agencies Immunity Increase safety from the trend of the spread of new strains of COVID. After the long holiday of the past Songkran Festival by instructing the agencies under the vaccination point to open in order to serve the public thoroughly Both in Bangkok and other provinces by emphasizing that Covid vaccination still important Especially the risk group 608 or following at least 3 months following receiving the last injection of the vaccine to prevent severe illness and death. The public can receive the COVID-19 vaccination service. If you have any questions, you can call to inquire at any medical facility under the Department of Medical Services across the country.
In this regard, ask the public to be confident that the Department of Medical Services, Ministry of Public Health And various hospitals have enough medicines, medical supplies and beds to accommodate COVID-19 patients. And still able to provide treatment services for various diseases as usual
