The number of Covid-19 inpatients rose to 1,811 last week (from April 23 to 29), up from 1,088 in the previous week, and related deaths doubled from five to 10 over the same period, according to the Department of Disease Control (DDC).
These figures increased two weeks after the Songkran festival in mid-April and are expected to go up further when the new school term and the rainy season start this month.
