According to a Facebook post by Associate Professor Dr Thira Woratanarat, a lecturer at Chulalongkorn University, Covid-19 has been the most common infectious disease causing illness among the public in the past week.
It remains the leading cause of infection across all age groups—from young children, adolescents, working-age adults, to the elderly.
Statistics from the past week show that the number of patients receiving hospital care (both inpatients and outpatients) reached as many as 43,213, representing a 35.5% increase from the previous week. There were three reported deaths from Kanchanaburi, Sukhothai and the Bangkok Noi district of Bangkok.
When comparing Covid-19 to influenza, the rate of infection for Covid-19 was found to be nearly seven times higher overall, with an age group ratio of 7:1. For children aged 0–4 years, the ratio stood at 4:1; for those aged 5–19 years, 3:1; while among university-age and working adults (20–59 years), as well as the elderly (60 years and above), the ratio was 10:1.
