The Department of Medical Sciences reports that Thailand has 13 Covid- 19 diseases resulting from the fresh KP pressure of the Omicron variant.
The JN. 1 sub- feature and another Omicron thread- variants are still the primary ones spreading in Thailand, said Dr Yongyot Thammawut, the department’s director- standard.
He said JN. 1 even has unique abnormalities, giving it the ability to harm people, circumvent their immune systems and multiply at different rates.
JN. 1 ( BA. 2.86.1.1 ) is a sub- version of the BA. 2.86 Omicron thread- feature and is now the most common in 116 countries.
The fresh JN sub-variantes were said by Dr. Yongyot. 1, including KP. 2, KP. 3, KS. 1 and KP. 1.1, have emerged, with nine KP. 2 situations and four KP. 3 people found in Thailand, out of 503 JN. 1 cases total.
These novel sub-variantes have two times more potency than the standard JN. 1 version in terms of their ability to develop, he said.
XDK and XDR, two additional hybrid Omicron sub-variants, are available. 1 and different varieties, have also been discovered. But, there is no evidence proving they may cause more severe symptoms.
According to the dentist, Covid cases have increased significantly in recent months. The start of the new university year , this month is forecast to lead to a more upturn, experts say.
