Thailand facing coronavirus from Italy which may be more virulent than the Asian virus

13 Sept 19:50 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand confronts a more aggressive COVID-19 strain from Italy, described as more virulent and dangerous than the Asian variant.
A 'super spreader' event at a boxing stadium, initiated by an infected fan with ties to Italy, led to over 50 infections and widespread transmission across provinces.
Medical experts warn the Italian strain severely attacks the lungs, causing higher mortality rates, and predict a significant spike in Thai infections and deaths.
Effective treatment with specific drugs like Avigan (Favipiravir) and hydroxychloroquine is crucial to prevent severe respiratory failure in patients.
