“Even if infected before There is a chance of re-infection.”

Kahn F et al from Sweden Published in medRxiv yesterday, the study involved a population of 71,592 adults, most of whom were healthcare professionals.

found that people who had been infected with COVID-19 Earlier Omicron strains and humans infected during Omicron substrain BA.1 previously did not protect against reinfection.

While people who were previously infected with the Omicron strain, if it was BA.2, it could reduce the chance of reinfection by about 85%, and people infected during BA.5 could reduce the chance of reinfection by about 85%. 66% However, the protective effect is greatly reduced after 5-6 months from the onset of infection.

The results of this study reinforce our awareness of the importance of being careful in our daily lives. Protect yourself regularly. Even if you’ve been infected before Infection doesn’t just end with being sick or dead, but there is also the risk of long-term effects like Long COVID from each infection.

“Over 90% of people first infected by the Omicron strain are symptomatic.”

Doll MK and team from the United States Results published in medRxiv on 14 November 2022.

The study was conducted in a population aged 30-64 years who had never been infected before. healthy 274 people who had never been vaccinated before were followed up during June 2021 to September 2022 for a period of 48 weeks.

Of people infected during the Omicron outbreak, 93.3% were symptomatic infections. while people infected during delta Everyone got sick. It can be seen that asymptomatic infection is not very likely to occur.

The results of this study show us the importance of behaving.

If anyone has symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, muscle pain It is always necessary to keep in mind about COVID-19, do an ATK test and isolate yourself from others. To prevent the spread to others, both at home, at work and in the community.

meanwhile People in society can observe people we meet in everyday life. If you have the above symptoms should avoid being in close contact shorten meeting time Keep a distance from sick people. and protect the sample properly

“Pregnant women infected with COVID-19 may cause inflammation of the placenta and its association with stillbirth.”

Schwartz DA et al., USA. The paper was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology last October.

A study of placental pathologies in pregnant women with stillbirth.

suggests a hypothesis of pathological mechanisms to occur in the placenta In case of infection with COVID-19 The virus then spreads into the bloodstream and into the placenta, infecting the cells. Syncytiotrophoblast and cause inflammation of the placenta It is believed that this mechanism is associated with stillbirth problems.

…situation in Thailand right now Many people know that there are more and more infections all around.

According to official reports, the number of patients hospitalized in the past week has continued to rise.

Personally estimates that the number of new infections is at least 15,077 people per day.

Therefore, one should live with carelessness. Reduce and avoid risky behaviors, crowded places, poor ventilation

Wearing a mask properly during work, study or travel It will greatly reduce the risk.

Health consciousness is very important. and determines the risk of each individual family
