Yesterday around the world, 299,977 more people were infected with 611 more deaths, bringing the total to 517,204,266 people and 6,276,327 deaths.
The top five with the most infections were Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, Japan and Italy.
Yesterday, the number of new infections included countries from Europe and Asia, seven of the top 10 and 14 of the world’s top 20.
The number of new infections every day in the world now. from Asia and Europe together accounted for 75.44% of the world’s population, while the number of deaths accounted for 87.56%.
New infections in Asia accounted for 47.92 percent of the world, while the number of deaths rose to 35.51%.
…the epidemic situation of Thailand
From this morning’s Worldometer data, it was found that
Yesterday, the number of new infections, including ATK, was the 7th highest in the world and 4th in Asia.
While the number of deaths yesterday The 5th highest in the world, although Thailand has adjusted the reporting system from 1 May onwards until the number of reported deaths has decreased.
Thailand’s death toll yesterday accounted for 24.88% of all reported deaths in Asia.
…Compare the number of RT-PCR tests per 1,000 population.
If you compare between countries that now have the highest number of daily new infections in the top 10.
It is found that most countries will increase the capacity of disease screening by standard RT-PCR to speed up the control of the outbreak within the country.
while in Thailand Since the current second, third and fourth wave The number of tests per 1,000 population has increased slightly and has remained constant.
This data reflects that assessing the actual epidemic situation is necessary to include the number of ATK tests and, more importantly, the number of ATK tests. This indicates the limitation of disease screening systems that will support future outbreaks.
…with restrictions on the screening system and the system for reporting the number of infections (including the reported number of deaths that have been clearly seen since May 1 onwards)
may have to be careful Because planning a policy with incomplete information can make it blind. and the risk of future threats This can result in losses and consequences, as learned from Alpha and Delta Ripples.
The infection count reporting system should present both RT-PCR and ATK and total counts. to be used to assess the situation plan measures and will make people in society aware of the situation
as well as the number of deaths Both Death from COVID-19 and Death with COVID-19 and their totals should be presented to reflect the actual situation. and society gets to know the details to be used for decision-making better protection
… current situation The outbreak is still ongoing, widespread, and there is a high likelihood of outbreaks occurring after opening the country. Self-defense during everyday life also needs to be done on a regular basis. always wear a mask is the heart.”
