Number of deaths yesterday The 17th highest in the world and the 3rd in Asia, although the Thai Ministry of Health has adjusted the reporting system from 1 May until the reported number is greatly reduced.

…Record the first day of being an endemic area…

July 1, 2022, the first day of being “Dan Dong Disease” Covid or “area of ​​disease proliferation”

in a situation where the epidemic cannot be prevented effectively The epidemic continues to spread

The agency said that enough, enough doctors, enough beds, enough medicine… It’s probably similar to the word “take it.”

while people who care about health Aim for the welfare and safety of life need to find a way to survive to survive Among the policy and social environments that are at high risk of infectious disease transmission

…Infected, quarantine for 5 days according to the prescribed guidelines. Will it be safe?

Most recently, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on June 29, 2022 provides important information on how long it remains to be detected, how much it is and how it is cultured. After being infected with COVID-19

From the research it can be seen that quarantine for 5 days after infection is definitely not enough. and still not safe This is because nearly 50% of the virus can still be cultured and has a high level of detectable virus.

If it is safe, according to the information on the amount of infection And the rate of inoculation is about 2 weeks or at least 10 days, but in practice it is difficult to achieve due to economic, labor and social needs.

Therefore, if an infected person needs to return to life or work 7-10 days early, they must be aware that they may transmit the infection to others.

Therefore, you should protect yourself intensively. During daily use, continue until 2 weeks to reduce the risk of transmission. by wearing an N95 mask or equivalent Do not take off your mask when meeting, working or talking to others. keep distance and very importantly Do not go to the dining circle at work. Do not go to a party to eat and drink and socialize. or activities that risk infecting others

If they help each other practice as mentioned above. It will reduce the chance of infection spreading in various places. amid the current epidemic situation, more or less

…At this point, it also insists that “always wearing a mask when roaming outside” is absolutely necessary.

Covid doesn’t end. Just chill and recover. But you can get sick, die, and risk long-term abnormalities like Long COVID.
