Ministry of Public Health reveals 2 weeks of Covid-19 Severely ill – deaths doubled as a result of the increase in the number of infections. Compared to the delta range, still less than 10 times avoid gathering of people and slow down the journey Reduce the number of infections, fear 10 times more, causing 5-10 times more deaths.
On February 24, 2022 at the Ministry of Public Health In announcing the situation of COVID-19, Dr. Chakrarat Pittayawong Anon Director of the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Disease Control said that the situation of COVID-19 The trend is still in an uptrend. It will consider the data of critically ill patients and deaths as important numbers. which although the Omicron strain is highly contagious However, having more infections increases the likelihood that those at risk of being infected will have more severe symptoms. especially the elderly person with underlying disease Pregnant and unvaccinated women
in the past 2 weeks The number of pneumonia cases rose from 569 to 905, as well as endotracheal intubation from 113 to 240, and the death toll from 20 to 38, a doubling increase in all cases. part Consistent with the roughly double the number of infections, people who have the virus, but may not show the symptoms that are presently present, will face a group at risk of being infected with more severe symptoms.
“Comparing the previous epidemic and now with similar infection counts, the year 2021 was the delta epidemic. during the week 31 of the year, 150,652 cases, 1,823 deaths. Currently, the 6th week of 2022, there are 118,988 cases and 188 deaths. The difference in deaths is 10 times, but the cases are similar. However, from now on. The number of infected people increases by more than 10 times, and the death toll will increase by 5-10 times as well,” said Dr. Chakrarat.
Dr. Chakrarat also said that forecasting at the moment is difficult because the infected people are quite asymptomatic and therefore do not have ATK testing. But the outbreak has risen quite steeply. Similar to countries in the European Union, the United States and Asia, which rose rather quickly. which was originally expected that Thailand will occur after the new year But there are measures that do well. When more measures are relaxed since February 1, 2022, people may forget to reduce the use of masks. Entering more risky places and has traveled to infect various places, so I would like to reiterate that the Ministry of Public Health is now maintaining the Covid warning level at level 4 since the beginning of 2022, asking people to cooperate refrain from entering risky places avoid gathering of people and slow down the journey Prevent the infection from rising quickly create more safety for vulnerable groups
