The COVID-19 task force will only report new cases once a month, as the number of cases continues to decrease. The Center for COVID-19 will also issue new announcements on a weekly basis. These announcements will only be made on the same day as the regular CCSA meeting.
Although the number of COVID-19 positive cases is usually counted as newly confirmed, the CCSA will also only report cases that have symptoms. According to Dr. Sumanee Wacharasint, the reduction of the number of COVID-19 cases and fatalities has led to the lifting of the country’s disease control measures.
Following the lifting of the disease control measures, authorities have allowed foreign tourists to enter the Kingdom without having to submit to quarantine. They have also allowed some of the country’s nightlife establishments to reopen. However, Dr. Sumanee noted that the number of cases could still rise due to the public’s failure to comply with the various measures. To ensure that the country’s transition to the endemic phase is as smooth as possible, the Ministry of Public Health has been working to establish a sufficient number of treatment and treatment facilities.
