Even though COVID-19 symptoms are now It will not be as severe as in the early years. which is a delta species that often have symptoms in the lungs cause pneumonia But at present it is an Omicron species. which the severity of symptoms has greatly decreased But don’t be careless just yet. Because if the people around you are a risk group We might cause him harm.
COVID-19 symptoms Omicron species
Information from Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society reveals that in general, the incubation period of COVID-19 original breed and delta breed It will be approximately 2-14 days after being infected. and symptoms appear after 11-12 days, with the most contagious period being 1-2 days before symptoms appear and 2-3 days after symptoms begin. Therefore, it is the origin of the quarantine for symptoms for 14 days immediately after coming into contact with a high-risk infected person.
But the Omicron species The incubation period is only 3 days, making transmission faster. and spread the infection more widely It has a direct effect on disease control. and the examination and treatment will inevitably become more difficult as well. The majority of symptoms of patients infected with the “Omicron” strain of COVID-19 in Thailand are as follows:
Therefore, symptoms of COVID-19 infection Omicron species So it’s similar to the flu. and had mild symptoms Some people show almost no symptoms at all, causing their caution to decrease as well. because they thought they were not infected with COVID-19
Preventing the spread of COVID-19 Omicron species
- Always try to wear a face mask when in crowded areas or with many people.
- People who travel to various community areas or risk areas Even if you are fully vaccinated, you should not be careless.
- You should check your ATK regularly when you feel symptoms. or have just been to a high-risk area or meet many people
- When infected with COVID-19 or is a risk group Should you stay home or work from home?
- Observe your symptoms and if they do not improve, you should see a doctor immediately.
However, even though the symptoms are not severe And many people are already immune. But you shouldn’t be complacent. Because people in the risk group are Elderly people over 60 years of age, patients with 7 chronic diseases such as chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, obesity, cancer, and diabetes. And pregnant women, known as “Group 608,” may have more severe symptoms than the general population. Therefore, people infected with COVID-19 And if you have to be close to people who are at risk, you have to be especially careful. Because if we are not careful, we may spread COVID-19. to this group of people
Latest (19 Dec. 2023) Medical Genome Center Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital It has been reported that One person infected with Omicron JN.1 (the offspring of Omicron BA.2.86) has been found in Thailand.
Medical Genome Center It is expected that COVID-19 Omicron strain JN.1 will spread as the main strain in early 2024.
However, COVID-19 Omicron strain JN.1 is a descendant of Omicron BA.2.86, which has one additional mutation on its spine, “L455S,” resulting in the ability to both bind to the cell surface. and is the best at avoiding immunity in the world Making it now the strain that is rapidly spreading prominently in France.
Has the ability to spread quickly And Omicron JN.1’s ability to evade immunity has caused both the World Health Organization, the US Department of Disease Control and the UK to warn vulnerable people to come and get vaccinated.
The Medical Genome Center expects that the COVID-19 omicron strain JN.1 will spread as the main strain in early 2024 that is highly transmissible. But the symptoms are generally not severe. Currently, there are no additional reports of infected people requiring hospital treatment.
