webfact Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 File photo Thailand on Monday (April 25) reported 14,994 new COVID-19 cases, 23,524 recoveries and 124 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. Monday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 4,180,868 with 124 deaths. The news comes as Thai physicians pointed out factors as Thailand was approaching making Covid endemic, saying 70% of citizens must be fully vaccinated, Covid will either disappear or continue to mutate, and more. April 23rd, Dr. Wasan Chantrathit, Head of the Medical Genome Center from Ramathibodi Hospital’s Faculty of Medicine, made comments on the topic of “Counting backward to turn Covid from a pandemic into endemic”. He mentioned that the Ministry of Health should not be hasty and should maintain the balance by focusing on three main sections: The medical staff and public health system, the economy, and society. ** ** The Pattaya News contributed to this report Join our daily ASEAN NOW Thailand Newsletter - Click to subscribe -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-04-25 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2022 A week-plus after the close of the Songkran New Year’s holidays, Thailand on Monday reported continuing declines in new daily COVID deaths, new official daily cases and current serious hospitalizations. With no sign of predicted post-New Year’s increases in sight, the Ministry of Public Health said new COVID deaths declined from 126 on Sunday to 124 today. New cases fell from 17,784 on Sunday to 14,994 today. And current serious COVID hospitalizations declined from 1,929 on Sunday to 1,876 today. Overall, Thailand’s total number of active COVID cases under care fell from 183,154 on Sunday to 174,500 today. The deaths tally, daily new cases and serious hospitalization tallies were all the lowest in the past week. The one exception to the downward trend was Monday's tally of the most serious COVID hospitalizations requiring intubation, a subset of the larger group that increased from 899 on Sunday to 903 today, but still well below the year-high total of 940 set last Tuesday. The Thai government's official COVID numbers are widely considered a significant undercount because of lack of testing. But if uncounted cases are increasing out in the country, at some point, those would begin to surface as increased hospitalizations, which have yet to happen, at least according to the government's reports. For context, during the peak of the Delta wave last fall, Thailand's daily COVID case count topped out at 23,418, but the numbers of serious hospital cases and the intubated share of those peaked above 5,600 and 1,100 respectively, and daily deaths topped 300 for a brief period. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/548497366768592 https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bdenner Posted April 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2022 Nice set of meaningless figures. Not many living her in the rice paddies are bothering to report their self tested ATK as +ve these days, just self isolating. That includes a number of Farang I know! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Should be an interesting week if the numbers truly are on the decline. If so then I can see this Government touting there successes to the rest of the world and Anutin and Prayut holding a media PR day to thank the citizens of the country for following their instructions. Then in the same PR even I would hope they would shut off the emergency decree and decry the recent attempt to borrow trillions more to prop up the economy, afterall Thailand has turned the corner and the economy is gaining traction, there is no inflation and tourism will be booming thanks to the recent developments. If one can not see the sarcasm in my post then maybe they can see through the false façade that this Government once again is building. We traveled south and back over a 9 day period. Not one checkpoint was operational, yet they were still in place. At the checkpoint after the Sarasin Bridge, as we headed onto Phuket, we were not even stopped and checked to see if vaccinated or such. Seems to me that Thailand has already, without saying it, acting as if they have declared Covid Endemic. In the resort on Phuket we stayed at we only had to wear our masks when in the hotels dining areas, No one in Krabi or on Railay Beach wore one except Staff working in the establishments, and then it appeared staffing had been reduced in many places.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted April 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2022 Looks like the post Covid explosion in case numbers isn't happening. Great news. Now drop the restrictions further please. It's over. We have a new 'flu'. It's Endemic.

Nothing is going to derail " E Day ", just as nothing derailed the Phuket Dirt Box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
