The Department of Disease Control is warning people to protect themselves from the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which surfaces in the winter season.

 

Since November, several RSV infections were reported in Chaiyaphum, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Mukdahan, Chiang Mai and Lamphun provinces, with two patients having succumbed so far.

 

The Public Health Ministry’s records between 2017 and 2020 show that the number of RSV infections usually peaks between August and November and often continues into January.

 

Most cases are in the Northeast and North due to cooler temperatures compared to other regions.

 

People have been suggested to always wear face masks and ensure children are protected as they are most susceptible to the virus.
