As the end of 2024 , COVID-19 cases are steadily rising. How should we take care of ourselves?

Although we are now accustomed to living without worrying too much about COVID-19, reports of new infections are still ongoing, especially among those who have never been infected or those in vulnerable groups who received vaccines early on.

How severe are the latest COVID-19 symptoms?

Most patients tend to experience milder symptoms than expected. According to Dr. Manu Leechawengwong, as of October 28, the common symptoms include a sore throat, low fever, slight runny nose, and mild cough. There were no abnormal lung symptoms. Those who have never been infected before can still catch the virus at any given time.

How many days should I isolate if I get COVID-19 now?

If symptoms are mild and you test positive with an ATK (antigen test kit), you can isolate at home for at least 5 days. If your fever subsides, you can go about your daily life while wearing a mask. If symptoms do not improve, you may need to extend isolation for up to 10 days or consult a doctor.

How to protect yourself?

• Wash hands frequently with soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid crowded, tightly packed areas.
• Maintain good health by exercising regularly and getting enough sleep.
• Always wear a mask for protection.
