epidemic situation COVID 19 At this time, the epidemic has begun to return again and again. Yesterday added around the world 33,112 people, 138 more deaths, a total of 685,712,475 people, a total death of 6,842,781 people The top 5 most infected are Russia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand.
‘Dr Thira’ Society, Professor Dr Thira Worathanarat Faculty of Medicine Facebook Post Chulalongkorn University Thira Woratanarat to performance of ‘Omicron’ XBB.1.16 hybrid strain At the latest it was found that there was an epidemic in 34 countries around the world.
The expansion performance was increased than the previous stress.
A team from the University of Tokyo Japan A laboratory study found that XBB.1.16 It has an effective reproductive number transmission capacity (Re) of about 1.27 times more than XBB.1 and about 1.17 times more than XBB.1.5, which currently dominates the global epidemic.
very resistant to immunity
XBB.1.16 can be highly resistant to therapeutic antibodies, which are more resistant Omicron original species That used to spread and was as stubborn as XBB.1 and XBB.1.5
Currently, the epidemic has spread to at least 34 countries around the world.
If you remember, a few weeks ago Reports have been found in about 22 countries right now. A report has been found XBB.1.16 increasing to 34 countries worldwide The latest report comes from Belgium.
Situation of XBB.1.16 cases in different countries
XBB.1.16 cases in India But the proportion of detection in many countries around the world. The majority are still below 10%, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. (With the exception of some southern states found more than 20%), but with a higher diffusion rate. Current academic data therefore suggests that the trend is XBB.1.16 that will cross XBB.1.5 Let’s dominate the global epidemic in the next few months.
current situation in Thailand There are more cases. The more I see people crowded at festivals without protecting themselves. The risk is inevitably greater.
Global epidemic data clearly shows that XBB.x Likely to dominate the main case Thailand is very possible especially XBB.1.5 a XBB.1.16
XBB.x very immune and able to resist the antibodies used for health awareness treatment So it is very important to protect yourself during everyday life. All infections can be seriously ill, fatal, and a risk of Long COVID wearing the mask correctly will greatly reduce the risk.
