Dr. Anan reveals the reason If infected with covids, self quarantine for 10 days, no more spreading the virus. May not work for everyone. ATK examination is still useful.
On April 10, Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, a virologist and director of the Animal Health and Management Innovation Research Group. National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech), National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) posted a message via Facebook Anan Jongkaewwattana. In the event that people suspected of being infected with the coronavirus until they are cured and are ready to quarantine for 10 days, can they really go out and spend their daily lives?
Dr. Anan stated that “Self-quarantined for 10 days and considered recovered. no longer contagious It might not be true for everyone. The 10-day figure is considered an “average” where RT-PCR values are in the range above 30, which is recognized as The virus count is low and not spread, and more importantly, ATK has already tested negative.”
“butAverages are not available to everyone. This is because there will be some, possibly a minority, whose RT-PCR is below 30 and are in a zone where the virus can still spread, where the ATK is still positive. As an example from the graph below, 9 days after RT-PCR is positive, the mean Ct rises to 29 (for BA.2) and rises to 32 on Day 11, but there are still some patients with Ct in The range is 20-25 to 4 people in 22 samples, or 18.18%. At this level, ATK is positive and there is a chance of infection.”
“For those who have been quarantined for 10 days for the comfort of themselves and those around them I still believe ATK checks are also helpful. especially patients with clear symptoms when the infection is detected. Because from the information, the virus will be cleared more slowly than those with less symptoms. We should make the most of the technology from ATK. In this case, I think it increases our confidence that we can come out and live a safer life for the people around us.”
According to research resultsThe rates of infection with BA.1, BA.1.1 and BA.2 were high at three vaccinations. Results revealed a total of 82 omicron infections (cumulative incidence 22%), divided between BA.1, BA.1.1 and BA.2. Only 10% of the infected participants were asymptomatic.
whichhad the highest viral load on day 3. andLive viruses can be detected for up to 9 days.After the first sample with PCR-positive or positive Despite recent booster vaccinations in individuals who received three vaccinations, symptoms of COVID were associated with increased viral load (p<0.0001). even though the symptoms have disappeared Most of the participants had a Ct < 30 on Day 9.
However, the academic committee Approved to reduce the quarantine days for those who are exposed to high risk of COVID-19 from 7 days quarantine, 3 days observation for symptoms, to 5 days quarantine and 5 days observation.
On the side of Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong Director-General of the Department of Disease Control said that at the meeting of the National Communicable Disease Committee It has been agreed to reduce the quarantine days for high-risk exposed groups of 5+5, which is to quarantine for 5 days and observe symptoms for another 5 days. must notify the meeting OBEC acknowledged for further action. which will begin to be used after this Songkran
