The month in which students start their semester We will see a significant increase in pediatric patients. and distribution stuck in family
Doctor Yong also stated that yesterday (June 25, 65) from the morning received a telephone consultation. 10 people were infected in the family and in the morning went to check the children, outpatients, children suffering from respiratory diseases. Found like the previous season, covid epidemic, respiratory disease has increased a lot. In the examination, it is very difficult to distinguish. Is it covid? fully protect yourself like examining children for general respiratory diseases No PPE is added, if in doubt, do ATK.
As previously expected, the COVID-19 pandemic will be rampant from this month onwards. And will be the highest in July-September and will begin to decline in October-December and will spread once more in January like the flu of every year The outbreak will occur in 2 phases, the first period is the period of the first semester of students. The second period is found lower. It is the period following the start of the second semester, regarding 1 month, which is January. It is a characteristic of seasonal respiratory diseases in Thailand.
“Covid-19 has seen a very high rate from now on. if to predict How many patients are there today? It can only be said that more than 10 times the reported figure. Because most of them have few symptoms, ATK testing is self-treating, and a number of them are asymptomatic. because of our education in children By blood tests, regarding half of the children showed evidence of infection without symptoms,” said Yong.
If you know the real number must be used somewhere Make it a place to study how many patients are (Sentinel) because the numbers now will be the number received in the hospital or having RT-PCR testing. However, those infected have fewer symptoms. Transmission is less common in those infected with more symptoms. And getting rid of the virus is faster.
