Thailand Reports Over 28,000 Cases of Covid-19 in Two Days

BANGKOK – Thailand saw 28,294 new Covid-19 cases in the first two days of June, including one death and hundreds that require hospitalization.

According to the Department of Disease Control on June 3, there were 18,102 new cases reported on June 1, and 10,192 on June 2.

Of the new cases, 9,304 were outpatients, and 888 were severe cases requiring hospitalization. One death was reported.

As at May 27, the cumulative total of Covid-19 cases for 2025 stood at 323,301, with 69 deaths in total so far in 2025.

Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, director-general of the department of medical services, stated that the increasing number of cases is likely due to the early arrival of the rainy season and the opening of schools. He noted that this period also coincides with a rise in influenza cases, which have similar symptoms as Covid-19.

The 69 deaths reported include elderly individuals and those with underlying conditions, particularly in large cities and tourist destinations like Bangkok (22 deaths), Chonburi (eight deaths), Chanthaburi (seven deaths), and Chiang Mai (three deaths).

The mortality rate remains low, at 0.106 per 100,000 people, suggesting that the disease is not becoming more severe.
