The Ministry of Public Health is keeping to its original schedule of declaring Covid-19 an endemic disease on July 1 despite a forecast indicating an increase in fatalities, mainly among senior citizens.
Dr Chakkarat Pitayowonganon, director of the epidemiology division of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), said it will be two to four weeks before there is a clear indication if cases will climb to over 100,000 cases per day under a worst-case scenario forecast by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).
