Surge in COVID-19 Cases Prompts School Closures in Bangkok​

Last updated: May 27, 2025 10:56 am

BANGKOK– COVID-19 cases have climbed sharply across Thailand, with the Department of Disease Control (DDC) confirming 53,596 new infections between 18 and 24 May 2025. Bangkok has been hit hardest, recording more than 9,575 new cases as the school year begins.

This rapid rise has led to classroom closures, a return to online lessons, and the return of health rules to help slow the spread. During this period, hospitals admitted 2,784 patients, and five people died from the virus.

Officials are now urging everyone to follow guidelines to protect those most at risk. New variants and large gatherings after the Songkran festival have caused this recent spike, putting hospitals under extra stress.

Since January 2025, reported cases have reached 187,037, with 46 deaths. Bangkok has the most cases, followed by Chonburi (3,380), Samut Prakan (2,491), Nonthaburi (2,280), and Rayong (2,210). Most infections are among people aged 30 to 39, but health leaders worry about babies under one year old.

Bangkok schools closed​

Because of the outbreak, many Bangkok schools have closed their doors and moved classes online. Rajvinit Bangkaew School, for example, announced remote learning from 26 to 28 May after a spike in cases. Dr. Jiraruj Chompunich, a doctor known for his work in public health, said the biggest worry is for young children.

“Just two weeks into the term, cases are rising fast, especially among those under one year,” he said. The switch to online lessons should lower the risk in crowded schools, but parents are concerned about interruptions to their children’s education.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has told hospitals to prepare for more patients. Dr. Loetluck Wattanachai from the BMA’s Health Department has ordered extra vaccines, beds, and other medical supplies.

“We’re focusing on toddlers, older adults, and people with health problems,” she explained. The BMA is also promoting its “BMA Doctor” telemedicine app and the MSD hotline (1646) for quick medical help.

Free COVID-19 shots​

The DDC has shared simple tips to slow the virus. Dr. Jurai Wongsawat, a DDC spokesperson, advised wearing masks in busy places, washing hands often, keeping at least one metre apart from anyone showing symptoms, and using Antigen Test Kits (ATKs) if you think you might be ill.

“If everyone works together, we’ll see numbers drop faster,” said Dr. Jurai, warning that the outbreak could last another two or three months if people ignore these steps.

The DDC also urges those in the “608 group”—people over 60, pregnant women, and those with long-term illnesses—to get free flu and COVID-19 shots at public clinics or certain private providers.

Even though case numbers are high, deaths remain lower than in earlier outbreaks. In 2025, the case fatality rate is around 0.02%. Doctors link this to high vaccination rates and weaker symptoms with the current variants.

Still, experts like Dr. Thira Woratanarat from Chulalongkorn University told ThaiPBS things could get worse if people let their guard down. “Cases have been rising for 11 weeks straight,” Dr. Thira wrote on social media, pushing back on more hopeful messages from the Health Ministry.

Thailand’s universal healthcare scheme continues to cover COVID-19 care at local clinics, and mild cases can get help through telemedicine services like Clicknic, Mordee, and Saluber MD. Hospitals are still ready for those with severe symptoms, though resources are stretched.

As Bangkok faces this fresh wave, the DDC and BMA ask everyone to stay careful. With schools closed and classes online, the city faces a few tough months ahead. Regular mask use, handwashing, and getting vaccinated will help protect families and keep case numbers down.

Det blir bara för dig att ställa in din Thalandsresa som du redan betalt.:unsure:
 
Ett matsked äpplecidervinäger om dagen vaccinera dig mot många sjukdomar bla covid. Ät det och känn hur det känns i halsen och lungorna.
Vinäger är känd som rengöringsmedel och antikolesterol.
Det mesta av det som kallas medelhavsmaten äter man i norden redan men det som skiljer sig är just användning av vinäger.

Vore ju inte så dumt om det kunde sänka mitt LDL-kolestorol. Kanske behövs mycket för att få ned det från 3,0 till under 1,8!

Märkt att det fungerar bra mot sur mage i alla fall. :thumbsup:
 
Dr Sten Ekberg talar. Han är doktor i kiropraktik vilket inte har med kolesterol att göra, say no more.
Nja han har nog doktorerat i mer än så men varför skall du ens kommentera när du inte ids lyssna, förstår knappt engelska och kan absolut inte ta in andra vinklingar än vad som skrivs/sägs på tex SVT eller Aftonbladet? Du och dina likasinnade vänner blir ju totalt förda bakom ljuset när ni endast litar på ”en kanal”. Jag väljer att ta info från olika håll och därefter skapa mig en egen sanning. Du går runt som en zombie totalt upplurad på läktaren.
Du äter såklart statiner eller har ätit och känner dig såklart träffad, snudd på personligt påhoppad eller tom kränkt. Stackare.

Oj oj, det var ord och inga visor men noll fakta. Jag trampade visst på en öm tå. Jag fortsätter att tro på läkarvetenskapen när det gäller mediciner så kan du fortsätta tro på att det är en kiropraktiker som sitter inne med sanningen ! 555

Nä ingen öm tå men tycker synd om er som vägrar ta till sig riktiga fakta. Du är troligtvis för gammal att tänka om.
