Dean Siriraj pointed out that New Normal after Oct. 1, people may wear masks less. Yan likes to wear a mask to make it less risky.
On September 30, 65, Prof. Dr. Prasit Wattanapha, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital Mahidil University Referring to the situation of COVID-19 after October 1, that the current situation of COVID-19 has not deviated from what was predicted 3-4 months ago. Entering the destination of HIV-19 because 1. There are many vaccinations around the world. 2. The arrival of the fast-spreading Omicron strain but the symptoms are not severe pushing for severe disease-causing strains but slow spread Therefore, when spreading quickly The symptoms are less likely to cause immunity, similar to the flu, and the global movement in the same direction is easing measures. which after 3-4 months of follow-up, no more violence was found. mortality decreased same as Thailand But those who died now were found to be at risk of not vaccinating or not having complete vaccinations. However, Thailand still has to follow up until the new year to see if there will be another mutation or not. Like all over the world, it has been tracked. But it is not necessary to report every encounter with mutants because they are shocking. But if a mutation is found with a dangerous signal The relevant agencies will also report to you.
Prof. Dr. Prasit continued that the important thing that I would like to emphasize is that many years from now Which in the past, from SARS, MERS to COVID-19, are all coronavirus family. Bad days will be met with more severe strains. It’s up to the vaccine technology to build immunity for how long. but the lesson is Knowing the principles of prevention of communicable diseases is not close Therefore, in the future when the disease comes back, ask Thai people to think about this lesson. Awareness of self and family protection and if a new disease is found The source found must be properly reported. for the world to deal with it, which thought the world could handle we have to learn No, I didn’t learn anything. including learning to receive information through social media that includes facts with personal opinion have to separate
When asked if people can now take off their masks? Prof. Dr. Prasit said that he thinks that in the future, our New Normal does not mean that we do not have to wear masks. But it means that anyone who wants to wear it can wear it. Whoever doesn’t want to wear it doesn’t have to wear it. Otherwise, it may be a violation of rights. Personally, I tend to like to wear masks. Because the time to go anywhere is less risky. Influenza is not afraid. So new normal doesn’t mean not wearing a mask. People will probably wear less masks for sure. like wearing a shirt or tie which some people do not wear outerwear Not tying a tie, becoming a “norm” is that different people accept each other. Whoever wants to wear it Whoever doesn’t want to wear it doesn’t have to wear it.
“The word New Normal It means that the world goes through a compulsory process. or already strictly controlled because at present it is not a serious contagious disease Therefore, each person’s new normal is to take care of their own health. keep yourself healthy which each person is not the same But we are not regaining control over everything,” said Prof. Dr. Prasit.
