A number of Thai hospitals are phasing out their COVID-19 specific wards, as the number of COVID-19 admissions steadily declines, said Director-General of the Medical Services Department Dr. Somsak Akksilp, today (Monday).

 

As the COVID-19 situation is improving, he said that more patients are being treated at home, thus reducing the number of hospital admissions.
