COVID-19 SUNDAY: 12 deaths, over 2.4 million total infections
Today, the CCSA reported 8,444 new Covid-19 infections, down 174 since yesterday, and 12 Coronavirus-related deaths, down 7 from yesterday. Since April 1, 2021, in the latest wave of the virus in Thailand, today the country surpassed 2.4 million infections with a total of 2,403,661 confirmed Covid-19 infections have been reported. 22,157 total deaths have been recorded from the pandemic.
Over the course of January, daily Covid-19 infections have taken a sharp rise as the Omicron variant hit Thailand and began to spread rapidly. Now at the end of the first month of 2022, daily infection rates rise and fall in waves but have been constant at around 8,000 infections per day.
In the 24 hour period since the last count, the CCSA has reported 7,829 recoveries, up 529 from yesterday. Since the beginning of the third wave of Covid-19 on April 1, 2021, a total of 2,325,054 have recovered from a Covid-19 infection. There are now 84,542 people currently receiving treatment for Covid-19, up 603 from yesterday, including 546 in the ICU ( up 18 over last week) and 109 on ventilators ( up 13 over last week).
Of the new Covid-19 infections, 236 were brought in from international travellers, 21 were found in correctional facilities, 54 were identified by community testing, and 8,133 were uncovered by walk-in testing. 3,098 antigen test kits were used, though their results are officially considered inconclusive.
