JAKARTA - Thailand is one of the countries in Asia that experienced a spike in COVID-19 cases in 2025. This total was obtained from the cumulative cases of infection which reached 323,301 until the end of May 2025.

The Ministry of Disease Control (DDC) or the Thai Department of Disease Control reported the latest data on COVID-19 cases as of Monday, June 2, which was 10,192 cases. There were 69 deaths from COVID-19 throughout 2025 in the country.

The 69 reported deaths occurred mostly between the age group of 60 years and over. They include elderly people who have congenital conditions or comorbidities, which are burdensome for symptoms of COVID-19.

Although nearly 70 deaths were reported, when compared to the total infection cases, the case rate was still relatively low at 0.106 per 100 thousand people. Thai authorities also believe that this COVID-19 case will not develop into a disease with more severe symptoms.

Therefore, the public is asked to cooperate in overcoming the current spread of COVID-19 cases. Starting from the use of masks, to people who are not at high risk can take good care of themselves if infected.

"People who are not at high risk who are infected usually experience mild symptoms and can recover on their own or with free-selling treatment, such as lowering fever, cough medicine, and decongestant," said Director General of the local Medical Services Department, Dr. Taweesin Visaniyothin, quoted from the Nation Thailand, on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

Those who are at high risk of COVID-19 are asked to go to the medical service. The Thai government ensures medical services can be accessed easily, and there is free digital medical service.

"However, for high-risk groups such as the elderly or children under one year, we urge them to immediately go to the hospital," said Doctor Taweesin.
