JAKARTA - Thailand's Minister of Public Health, Somsak Thepsutin stated that the country's COVID-19 infection has peaked for 2025 and is expected to decline gradually.

Nevertheless, he still appealed to the public to remain vigilant because the weekly infection rate was still relatively high and the flu vaccine was being rolled out.

Somsak quoted a report from the Epidemiology Division in the Department of Disease Control stating that the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has reached its highest point and the numbers are starting to decline. Despite the situation showing improvement, he stressed vigilance must be maintained, especially for high-risk groups.

"People with underlying health conditions are still advised to wear masks and wash their hands regularly, because the weekly infection rate is still high," Somsak said, quoted from the Thailand Nation page.

In the period 25 to 31 May, there were 65,880 new cases of COVID-19 with three deaths. The age group most infected was 30 39 years with 12,403 cases, followed by the age of 2029 years (10,368 cases), and the age of 60 years and over (9,590 cases).

Somsak warned that while the peak of infection has passed, the virus is likely to continue to spread during the rainy season.

"The number of thousands of new cases per week may make people worried, but I want to make sure the Ministry of Public Health is fully ready." he said.

The public is asked to continue to follow health protocols and pay attention to official information regarding the ongoing development of COVID-19 and flu vaccinations.
