The Department of Disease Control has warned that “Covid” is on the rise, entering after shock. After encountering the Omicron ripple earlier this year Expected to find the first small wave to the peak during September, may find patients Hospital increased to 4,000 cases, but if relaxed If you don’t wear a mask, you may add more. I repeat, don’t just relax the mask. especially at risk groups 608 and speed up vaccination many infected parts But if there are no symptoms or less symptoms, it is not a burden on the public health system.
On July 4, Dr. Chakrarat Pittayawong-anon Director of the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Disease Control, announced the situation of Covid-19, the Omicron strain that many countries around the world have reported increasing numbers of cases, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, some countries have reported deaths continuously. As for the subspecies of Omicron, BA.4/BA.5 was found to increase in many countries, such as BA.4 South Africa found 64%, while BA.5 England 28%, America 25%, France 22%, Australia 21% and Thailand 20% near. around the world because there is relaxation There are travelers However, high vaccine coverage means fewer deaths. For example, England covers 73%, USA 67%, France 78%, Australia 84%, fewer deaths. But South Africa covers 32%. The death toll is starting to increase somewhat.
Dr. Chakrarat said Thailand today found 677 cases of pneumonia, an increase of 630 cases last week, 293 intubated patients, but no increase has been found. still stable It may take some time for pneumonia to develop. As for the reported 18 fatalities, the trend is slightly decreasing and starting to stabilize. new patient stable patients admitted in The hospital has not increased as much as it was in the past 2 weeks. But patients with mild symptoms may increase. The number of patients who entered the HI system from the previous ten thousand cases has increased to almost 15 thousand. The registration of drugs through the NHSO system, the outpatient system increased last week from 1.91 hundred thousand to 2.07 hundred thousand is considered a lot this week.
Weekly overview for the period June 26 – July 2, pneumonia and intubation cases close to the numbers reported today. New patients who come to the hospital accumulated 16,000 cases, an average of about 2,000 people per day. The cumulative death toll was 106, a decline of 161 from last week, but the total number of deaths was 608, nearly 50 per cent were unvaccinated, some getting a single dose. therefore unable to prevent severe symptoms Can cause death for about 30% more than 2 injections, but more than 3 months, so to prevent severe illness must be injected with a stimulating needle. The chronic disease that causes a lot of death is chronic kidney disease. cerebrovascular coronary artery and cancer group may not be vaccinated causing an increased chance of infection and death
“Pneumonia cases and the nationwide bed occupancy rate of 10.9% is good. If it exceeds 50%, the number of beds must be increased. in which many provinces have adjusted the bed for severe covids to use other diseases reduce the covid bed Many provinces have an increased proportion of bed occupancy, such as Bangkok and its vicinities, and tourism provinces like Phuket. But the bed occupancy rate of 20-30% is still acceptable,” said Dr. Chakrarat, adding that during the past 2-3 weeks, the Bangkok metropolitan area, major provinces and tourism There are more infected and sick people who are hospitalized. Therefore, some parts of the epidemic control must be considered. Preventive measures may be added, such as wearing a mask at all times. especially using the area with a lot of people have grouped All public transport uses must wear a mask,” said Dr. Chakrarat.
Dr. Chakrarat said In conclusion, Thailand found more infections, severe cases and deaths. but is within the criteria to support in the public health system patients admitted in The hospital has not increased much. by 2-3 level beds, even the use increases. but has been used for other diseases as well If occupying a higher bed, may have to switch back to take care of covids. as for favipiravir Molnupiravir There is still enough to support. Outbreaks found in schools, schools, small clusters in many provinces, may spread to 608 families. Must wear a mask at all times Even starting to relax in the open air especially when using public transport Participate in crowded activities, go to closed places, high-risk activities To reduce the risk of getting and spreading the infection to the 608 group and must accelerate the landscape as well. Emphasize that vaccines do not prevent infection. can wear a protective mask But vaccines help prevent serious illness. Don’t put the tube and die.
Dr. Chakrarat said Many countries are very relaxed about wearing masks. people traveling abroad who are beginning to relax It is also recommended to wear a mask to prevent infecting us. because coming back may be attached to people in the house Please avoid going to activities that are very crowded. no mask Because now in Europe, the United States, BA.4 BA.5 a lot, but if it is found that it is infected or exposed to high risk When returning to Thailand, wear a mask at all times when in close contact with other people. Especially the 608 group in order not to bring the disease to this group. avoid going to public places to reduce the risk of spreading the infection If sick with fever, sore throat, which BA.4 BA.5 is quite common with fever, cough, and quite a lot of sore throat. If symptoms are suspected, you can test for ATK.
Dr. Chakrarat said New cases and deaths are expected from July 1, 2022, to 2023, after a large surge of Omikron during the period. last Jan Expect a small wave after shock followed from easing measures open economic activities or more travel into the country The first small wave to meet is This week until the 35th week, or the 10 week period from now on. September will be the peak season. which now the infection has increased As a result, there may be more patients going to hospitals, which we predict from the measures that are still the same as in June. is also wearing a mask Which now we have 2,000 patients per day, it is estimated that September should not exceed 4,000 cases per day, but if all measures are relaxed no mask It may be beyond this. But still need to consider factors in the near term again, but may not be as high as the Omikron at the beginning of the year. due to a large number of vaccinations For more severe cases and deaths, additional numbers are expected.
“Now the infection is on the rise, no more than 10 weeks to the peak of this small wave is September, but if very relaxed Travel a lot, get very infected and meet a group of 608 who are very sick. It can be a bigger wave. So don’t be in a hurry to pay off the mask. Now that there is a signal, hurry up and put it in. The alert is still level 2, which is still recommended to wear a mask. And during the epidemic, it is very wide, requiring a vaccination campaign. Although most of them were infected with no symptoms and slept at home, the 608 group did not know when to get the infection. will wear a mask Keeping distance all the time is difficult. Children who visit can bring the infection. Therefore, it is necessary to wear a mask as much as possible when hanging out with other people and going for vaccinations,” said Dr. Chakrarat.
The fact that the infected person is actually less than 10 if it is the first wave. We focus on the infected But the Omicron outbreaks are numerous but not severe. We’ve had a lot of vaccinations, over 80% in the first dose, the booster is still over 40%, so more shots would be better. The situation of disease reporting therefore focuses on patients as the main focus, which is hospital treatment in order to monitor how much the public health system can support. Reporting, we follow up on both patients. Many infected people in the NHSO registration system are infected with no symptoms or few symptoms. Maybe go buy Andrographis paniculata or register to receive medicine and sleep at home. without login Hospital. We may not know 100%, but we will follow from the trend of patients in the hospital. It is mainly expected that we have to live with covid 19. Infections may be found more and more.
“Only 10. If you look at the numbers from the data, we have 2,000 in hospitals, 20,000 cases registered in the OPSI system, which is about 10 times that, but may be more. because the infection shows symptoms or have fewer symptoms Eat Fah Talai Thieves at home. There may be quite a lot of them, maybe 10 times more. Here, we are not worried. because he treats himself like the flu If it doesn’t get into the lungs or pneumonia doesn’t come. The hospital treats itself similarly. I want everyone to be able to live with covids like that. In addition, if you are sick, you have symptoms, get medicine quickly, your sickness will be slower. will be less severely ill. Small waves. If it doesn’t exceed the public health system, it shouldn’t be a concern,” said Dr. Chakrarat.
