Thailand urges calm as NB.1.8.1 becomes dominant Covid-19 strain

Thailand’s health authorities urge calm about Singapore’s Covid spike, noting NB.1.8.1 is already circulating in Thailand and now accounts for about 50.95% of sequenced samples. From Jan 1 to May 23, 2026, Thailand recorded 3,642 cumulative cases and one death. NB.1.8.1 is a descendant of JN.1 with spike mutations but there’s no evidence it causes more severe illness. Covid-19 is treated as endemic; officials advise routine precautions, testing if symptomatic, and protecting vulnerable groups, especially during the monsoon season. Singapore’s spike is being monitored but hospitalizations remain manageable.

Nimbus and NB.1.8.1: New COVID variants with sharp sore throat symptoms

The epidemiological update reports a rise in SARS-CoV-2 infections in some Asian countries linked to the NB.1.8.1 variant, which is currently under monitoring by WHO and ECDC. In the EU/EEA, infection levels remain low with no significant impact on healthcare, but a potential increase in cases and hospitalizations is expected due to waning immunity and suboptimal vaccination coverage among older adults. Continued surveillance, vaccination, and public health measures are recommended to mitigate future waves.
