The Ministry of Health has recorded 104 Omicron cases so far, while the first locally transmitted infection was reported at the government's daily press conference on December 20, 2022.

Sumanee Wacharasin, head of the hazard communication department at the Ministry of Disease Control, explained that the first locally transmitted case was identified in a Thai woman who had contracted Omicron from her Colombian husband, who had arrived in Thailand from Nigeria at the end of November.

Currently, travelers from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe are not allowed to enter Thailand.

The Omicron variant was first identified in South Africa in November. It is currently the predominant strain in new infections in the United States, and reports indicate it will soon become the predominant strain in Europe as well.
