Ministry of Public Health identifies COVID-19 in Samut Sakhon, GH strain from Myanmar – India Not yet mutated in Thailand
Today (23 December) at the Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) Dr. Supakit Sirilak, MD. Director-General of the Department of Medical Sciences Announced the genetic transcription results of the coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19 found in Samut Sakhon province from the detection of the infection among Myanmar migrant workers that in the laboratory (lab) examination not only Check to know if someone has a positive or negative result. But must be examined in order to know the genetic code of that particular infection or what species As the epidemic elsewhere? Or is there a mutant?
“The species we first encountered was the S strain found from China. But the latter has been found to be a species of G that has spread throughout the world. There is a question about how well the contagion in Samut Sakhon province is related to Myanmar. Or is it from a fishing boat from Indonesia? The answer is From the incident at Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province, an outbreak in Tachileik Province Myanmar Have taken all the inspections, both Thai and foreign Comparing the overall global data, it was found that the group found in Samut Sakhon Province were GH strains that originated from Tachileik 1G1 and Mae Sot provinces with their origin from India. That started the epidemic to Myanmar in Rakhine State and spread throughout Myanmar. And some parts are smuggled into ThailandSaid Dr. Supakit.
Dr. Supakit said that the genetic code found This does not match the epidemic in Indonesia, so it is assumed that the species is from Indonesia. By that fishing boat Has very low probability And in the case of England A mutation was reported at the N501Y gene with severe infection. Thailand has been vigilant and has not found any connection with the species, confirming that the large outbreak of the strains came from India that had passed from Myanmar. And entered Thailand
“however We will continue to watch. Among those who have a positive test result We will continue to carry the genetic code. So if there is an abnormality It can be detected quickly, ”said Director-General of the Department of Medical Sciences.
