Everyone must help prevent second wave of Covid-19 infections: virologist

The expert from Chulalongkorn University said a second wave of infections has emerged in several Asian countries like Hong Kong, Vietnam and China, while the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan are getting up to 1,000 new Covid-19 cases daily.

“Until a vaccine or medicine is found, we have to do our best to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Thailand,” he said, adding that as more people are returning to normal life, the number of children and adults with respiratory complaints is increasing.

“If a second wave emerges, medical personnel will have to conduct Covid-19 tests on these patients as well,” he said. “This is why, we must all help each other so we can lead normal lives.”
