BANGKOK, Nov 28 (TNA) – The BA.2.75 sub-variant of COVID-19 already accounted for as much as 58% of COVID-19 cases in the country and another subtype might emerge late this year when European visitors would arrive to avoid winter in their homeland, according to the Department of Medical Sciences.

 

Dr Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the department, said there was a small wave of COVID-19 infections in the country and most of them, or 58%, were cases of the BA.2.75 sub-variant because more Indian visitors were arriving.

 

Late this year many Europeans would escape cold weather in their homeland and arrive in Thailand.

Nothing to do with the APEC leaders then. That's good to know.

Dirty farang

They are not putting the blame on anyone.  It is common knowledge with Covid that different strains can transfer from one country to another.  And since Thailand has many visitors in and out from other countries.  That makes the situation greater.
