Thailand reported 52,917 new COVID-19 cases and four deaths between May 18 and 24, with Bangkok, Chonburi, and Samut Prakan among the hardest-hit provinces. The dominant JN.1 variant, while less severe, continues to spread rapidly. The Department of Disease Control (DDC) urged the public to take precautions, especially during the rainy season and school term, which increase transmission risks. Key advice includes mask-wearing, handwashing, and ATK testing when symptomatic. COVID-19 care is now fully integrated into Thailand’s healthcare system. Patients under the 30-baht scheme can access free treatment at local clinics and selected pharmacies. Telemedicine services are also available via platforms like Clicknic and Mordee. Ratwinit Bangkaeo School temporarily shifted to online learning due to rising infections, highlighting ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable populations and manage localized outbreaks nationwide.
Pray for wise counsel for the authorities to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand. Pray for the success of all the efforts of the government to control the transmission of the virus (The Holy Bible, Psalm 44:26).
Pray for divine protection upon all the civilians in Thailand. Pray for the LORD’s healing power upon all the infected victims. (The Holy Bible, Exodus 15:26).
