In the latest COVID-19 situation report, Assoc. Prof. Thira Woratanarat, MD a lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, revealed that COVID-19 is spreading nearly seven times more than influenza. Meanwhile, Bangkok authorities are urging increased vigilance for &ldquo;school clusters.&rdquo;

Assoc. Prof. Thira Woratanarat, MD shared on his personal Facebook page, &ldquo;Thira Woratanarat,&rdquo; that COVID-19 was the most common communicable disease causing illness among the population last week. It ranked number one across all age groups&mdash;from toddlers, children, teenagers, and working-age adults to the elderly.

According to last week&rsquo;s statistics, there were 43,213 patients treated in hospitals (both inpatients and outpatients), marking a 35.5% increase from the previous week. Three deaths were reported, from Kanchanaburi, Sukhothai, and Bangkok&#39;s Bang Khun Non district. When comparing COVID-19 to influenza, the rate of illness from COVID-19 was nearly 7 times higher.

The overall ratio across all age groups is 7:1:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Age 0&ndash;4 years: 4:1

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Age 5&ndash;19 years: 3:1

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- University age, working-age (20&ndash;59 years), and elderly (60 years and above): 10:1

COVID-19 Outbreak: Vigilance for School Clusters

Mrs. Lertluck Leelaruangsang, Director of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration&rsquo;s Department of Medical Services, stated that since the school term began, there has been a noticeable increase in COVID-19 cases, especially among young children aged 0&ndash;4 years. Between April and May 8, 2025, a total of 1,974 cases were reported at BMA-affiliated hospitals&mdash;11 inpatients and 1,963 outpatients.

The BMA Medical Department has prepared to handle the situation by ensuring availability of medical personnel, hospital beds, vaccines, medications, and essential supplies. Proactive measures are also being implemented in schools and early childhood development centers. If cluster outbreaks are detected, there will be an effective plan in place for containment and prevention.

Additionally, the department is campaigning to raise awareness among students, parents, teachers, and school staff, emphasizing monitoring of risk symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, or runny nose. If symptoms occur, an ATK test should be conducted. If the result is positive, the individual should isolate and wear a mask to prevent transmission, and seek medical attention promptly.

Monitoring School Clusters: COVID-19 Spreads 7 Times More Than Influenza

Bangkok, May 18, 2025 – The Ministry of Public Health has raised concerns over rising health risks among Bangkok residents, revealing that 56.1% are living with abdominal obesity and 12.5% have diabetes—figures significantly higher than the national averages of 39.4% and 9.5% respectively. These alarming statistics were shared during the event “Thais Stay Away from NCDs through Urban Lifestyles,” held at The Graf Hotel in Bangkok and chaired by Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin.

<h3>Bangkok, May 18, 2025 &ndash; The Ministry of Public Health has raised concerns over rising health risks among Bangkok residents, revealing that 56.1% are living with abdominal obesity and 12.5% have diabetes&mdash;figures significantly higher than the national averages of 39.4% and 9.5% respectively. These alarming statistics were shared during the event &ldquo;Thais Stay Away from NCDs through Urban Lifestyles,&rdquo; held at The Graf Hotel in Bangkok and chaired by Public Health Minister Mr. Somsak Thepsutin.</h3>

Minister Somsak emphasized that the Ministry is prioritizing the fight against non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, by designating them as a national agenda. These chronic diseases not only strain the country&rsquo;s healthcare system but also severely impact citizens&rsquo; quality of life and hinder economic and social development. The economic loss associated with NCDs is estimated to be as high as 1.6 trillion baht per year.

Minister of Public Health (Mr. Somsak Thepsutin)&nbsp;

&nbsp;

He noted that the urban lifestyle in Bangkok&mdash;characterized by a fast-paced rhythm and high levels of stress&mdash;contributes significantly to the rising prevalence of these conditions. In response, the Ministry has been equipping public health volunteers (Or Sor Sor) with the knowledge and tools to become community health leaders, with the goal of encouraging behavior change and raising awareness among Bangkok residents.

The event featured a series of special lectures, educational exhibitions, and demonstrations focused on urban disease prevention strategies. These included models for health promotion in housing estates and high-rise communities, community-based disease control efforts, strategies for sodium reduction, low-carb diet options, and free influenza vaccinations.

The Ministry of Public Health reiterated its commitment to supporting urban populations in building healthier habits and reducing the long-term burden of NCDs. The event served as a platform to promote collaboration and proactive health management tailored to the unique challenges of life in the capital.

Bangkok - On April 29, 2025, at DBC Spine Clinic &amp; Gym (Q House), the research team from the Siriraj Health Policy Unit, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, conducted a video shoot demonstrating the use of the &ldquo;No Falls for Seniors&rdquo; rehabilitation manual. The video features treadmill-based balance training combined with a body weight support system (Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training: BWSTT).

The &ldquo;No Falls for Seniors&rdquo; guideline was developed by Assistant Prof.Parit Wongphaet, M.D., a rehabilitation medicine specialist at Samrong General Hospital and the Samrong Ruamjai Foundation. The guideline integrates essential knowledge on selecting appropriate assistive devices, planning walking exercises, and improving balance for the elderly. It covers comprehensive aspects of fall prevention, including fall risk assessment, evaluation of balance and gait, and safe treadmill training with body weight support tailored to each individual.

This demonstration is part of the research project titled &ldquo;Evaluation of Clinical Effectiveness, Cost-Effectiveness, and Feasibility of Ambulatory Training Using BWSTT in Older Adults at Risk of Falls,&rdquo; supported by the Thailand Center of Excellence for Life Sciences (TCELS). The project aims to provide critical data for policy-level decisions and future integration into Thailand&rsquo;s national public health strategies.

The filming took place at DBC Spine Clinic &amp; Gym, Thailand&rsquo;s first specialized rehabilitation clinic for musculoskeletal pain using advanced technology from DBC International, Finland. The clinic offers treatment for chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain, delivered by rehabilitation physicians and physical therapists under hospital-grade standards.

The clinic&rsquo;s medical team has received specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Support and Active Rehabilitation techniques in accordance with DBC International protocols. Treatment outcomes are consistently monitored and benchmarked against international DBC clinics to ensure quality and effectiveness.

This collaboration represents a significant step forward in linking rehabilitation science with health policy to enhance the well-being and safety of Thailand&rsquo;s aging population.
