Men in white: Officials from samut prakan’s Disaster prevention and mitigation Division spray disinfectant in an old community in tambon pak nam of muang district. Speaking at a press conference, Dr Supakit Sirilak, chief of the Department of Medical Sciences, said that the Omicron variant has now been diagnosed in every province, with 10,701 cases reported so far. The department cited that although there may be socio-cultural factors behind the present split, infections in the South will almost certainly follow suit. "Currently, the proportion of Omicron patients is up to 86.8%, and we believe that it will almost fully dominate the Delta variant by the end of this month. At that time, only six million people were vaccinated, but the virus ultimately saw deaths fall as the symptoms became milder.
