Answer: Mother
On November 27, 2021, the World Health Organization or WHO name announcement Omicron call the covid-19 virus new species English can be read aloud. Ormicron and Oh Micron The Greek manuscript reads: Omegron
It is a mutant with the genetic code name B.1.1.529 (B.1.1.529) after this infection was first found in Kauteng Province. South Africa on 24 November 2021
Omicron is the fifth type of mutant that the World Health Organization has. classified as a mutant “Worrying-Variants of Concern or VOC” after Alpha, Beta, Gamma and delta whileLambda species with Miu that had previously caused concern is also a species “In the interest-Virant of Interest or BUTTER” which is of a lower severity
BBC Thai report published on the website It is normal for all viruses to mutate spontaneously, SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen that causes COVID-19, but its genetic alteration differs from the genetic variation. large, which have little effect on the properties of the virus and tend to disappear over time.
This transformation or mutation allows it to survive and increase the number and where this new type of covid is particularly worrying Because there are 50 mutations in the genes in total.
This unexpected mutation is a protein mutation in 32 viral spine segments, which is crucial for the virus’s key to opening the door to human cells.
They also found mutations in the “receptor binding domain” that the virus uses to bind to human cells in up to 10 locations, while the deadly coronavirus, the Delta strain, has been found. There are only two mutations in this section.
Experts say existing vaccines may not deal with the mutated virus as well as before. But it helps people not fall seriously ill from Covid. main species Delta Alpha Beta and gamma
Doctors recommend full-dose vaccinations to protect against existing and upcoming mutations, and scientists will now test to see if the vaccine will work against the coronavirus. How this mutation
For Thailand, Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Center for Epidemic Management of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) or Prof., revealed that the report from the Department of Disease Control Ministry of Health about the nature of the COVID-19 virus New species Omicron compared to other species Initial symptoms found that there is no difference from the previous species Some reports indicate muscle pain, fatigue, loss of smell/taste. which the symptoms are not severe But there are reports of deaths as well.
speed of disease transmission Expected to speed up/increase because instead of the delta species in South Africa quickly The chance of infection is doubled. (Reproductive Number) expected to increase over wild type but no confirmed data, no data on severity But experts believe that the vaccine can also prevent severe symptoms of the disease, and the incubation period is not yet known. may evade immunity Significantly, it was found that there was a higher chance of re-infection.
