BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): The new Covid-19 strain XFG is spreading rapidly, with 23 confirmed cases in Thailand, the Department of Medical Sciences reported late on Saturday.
Yongyos Thammawut, the department’s director-general, made the announcement following the World Health Organisation’s designation of the XFG variant as a “variant under monitoring” on June 25, due to its high transmissibility and increased ability to evade immunity.
