Most people who test positive for COVID-19 today will likely have to go into “home isolation” or “community isolation”, as Thailand’s public-health system is overwhelmed by new cases. The culprit is a fourth wave of infections that has been surging over the past two months.

 

Sunday (July 25) saw another grim high of 15,335 new COVID-19 infections and 129 deaths.

 

What is home isolation?

The Public Health Ministry has described it as a treatment program for COVID-19 patients with mild or no symptoms.

Their medicines will be prescribed based on the judgment of doctors in charge of their case.

I am not sure sure that it is a fourth wave. Just the third wave building up to be a tsunami.
