COVID-19 SUNDAY UPDATE: Chon Buri passes Bangkok
2022 has started off hopeful for Covid-19 statistics, with daily deaths dipping inspiringly low to single digits, though fears of Omicron surges, especially after the New Year’s holiday, dampen expectations. Today, the CCSA reported 3,112 new Covid-19 infections, up 101 since yesterday, and 12 Coronavirus-related deaths, up 2 from yesterday. Since April 1, in the latest wave of the virus in Thailand, confirmed Covid-19 infections have passed 2.2 million, with a total of 2,200,685 being reported.
In the 24 hour period since the last count, the CCSA has reported 2,921 recoveries, up 394 from yesterday. There are now 33,108 people currently receiving treatment for Covid-19, up 179 from yesterday, including 562 in the ICU and 156 on ventilators.
Of the new Covid-19 infections, 2 were found in correctional facilities, 65 were identified by community testing, and 2,896 were uncovered by walk-in testing. 1,003 antigen test kits were used, though their results are officially considered inconclusive.
COVID-19 VACCINE UPDATES
The Department of Disease Control has released figures since Christmas stating no new vaccines have been administered. It is unclear if there is a nation-wide holiday on vaccinations or if the data is just not being reported over the holiday.
