Delta variant dominant, no Lambda yet

Delta remains the dominant variant of Covid-19 in Thailand, found in 74 out of 77 provinces, and there is still no sign of the Lambda variant from South America, according to the Department of Medical Sciences.

Director-general Supakit Sirilak said a random survey of 2,547 Covid-19 patients from July 24 to 30 found that 1,993 (78.2%) had the Delta variant (first found in India), 538 (21.2%) had Alpha (first detected in Britain) and 16 (0.6%) had Beta (first identified in South Africa).

The samples included 1,229 patients in Bangkok, of which 1,059 (86.2%) were infected with Delta, 170 (13.8%) Alpha and no one had Beta.

In other provinces the survey covered 1,318 patients, of which 934 (70.9%) had Delta, 368 (27.9%) Alpha and 16 (1.2%) Beta.

The Delta variant was found in 74 provinces. Beta existed only in the South, with the largest number of casesin Yala, 14 and one case each in Songkhla and Trang provinces, Dr Supakit said.

The Lambda variant from South America had not yet been detected in Thailand, he said.

The Lambda variant of the SARS-Cov-2 virus belongs to the C.37 lineage, which was designated a Variant of Interest on June 14 this year, according to the World Health Organisation.

Also for inter provincial travel I think. Supposedly it gives you a (uh-oh) - a QR code you can show to anyone who might be interested. So, judging by earlier observation, not required when entering Prachuabkhirikhan near Hua Hin airport.

It's only last week that PKK public health said alpha was the more prevalent in PKK and only 2 cases of Delta had been detected in PKK.

I too doubt anybody will look at it. However, I remember my wife was taken very ill during the last curfew and needed to be rushed to hospital. I was panicking all of the way in case I was stopped. This QR Code would give me a lot more confidence, but of course, I hope I won't need it.

20,920 new Covid cases, 160 new fatalities

Compared with the UK, we're well ahead on deaths and rapidly catching up with their infections!

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... fatalities

Not the best comparison when UK have administered 126 vaccines per 100 people, whilst Thailand are dragging their heels at 26 vaccines per 100 people.
