TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) New COVID hospitalizations in Thailand, including those in serious condition, rose again last week to once again set new yearly highs for 2023, even while new COVID deaths declined for the week, according to newly released data from the Ministry of Public Health. Thailand recorded 2,970 new COVID hospitalizations for the week May 21-27, averaging 424 per day and up nearly 13% from the prior week's figure of 2,632. With the latest data, new weekly COVID hospitalizations in Thailand have now increased for eight of the past nine weeks, and last week were almost 18 times higher than the 167 weekly figure recorded at the beginning of April. Likewise, the count of COVID patients currently hospitalized in serious condition rose to a new yearly high for 2023 of 425, up 6% from the prior week's figure of 401. Also, the count of hospitalized COVID patients requiring intubation in order to breath also set a new yearly high for 2023 of 253, up 12% from the prior week's figure of 226. Both tallies have now increased for each of the past seven weeks. The only good news in the latest report involved new COVID deaths, which fell to 42 for the week May 21-27, down 34% from the 64 recorded for May 14-20, which was the second highest weekly tally of 2023. Still, the most recent week's 42 new COVID deaths were 14 times higher than the 3 new COVID deaths reported at the beginning of April, when the current COVID surge in Thailand began. Normally, the Thai Ministry of Public Health has been providing its weekly COVID updates every Monday for the prior week. But this week, for unexplained reasons, the updated data for last week was not made public until yesterday/Thursday. The purple sections in the MoPH graphic below show Thailand's counts, as of last week, for COVID hospitalized patients in serious condition and those hospitalized who are requiring intubation in order to breathe, which together total 678 COVID hospitalized patients. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main With the latest week's data, Thailand has now reported 426 official COVID deaths and 18,039 COVID hospitalizations since the start of 2023. Thailand no longer publicly counts or reports just COVID infections or positive COVID test results, though Thai doctors recently have estimated the country may be experiencing 20,000 to 40,000 new COVID infections per day.
