In Thailand, more than 99.8 percent of Covid-19 infections are from the Omicron variant, with more than 92 percent from the sub-variant BA.2. Currently, there are several names for the combining of BA.1 and BA.2 sub-variants, including XA, XB, XC, XG and XH. The names represent the differences in their genetic codes.

Well you really need to watch the news several times a day if you wish to keep up... What is the bloody point of telling us this, wether it is the authorities or the media?? Who cares? Who does even undertand what that means??
