Thailand launches new scheme to help COVID-19 patients avoid hospital stay

13 Sept 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand will implement a nationwide scheme from March 1st, allowing COVID-19 patients to receive home treatment with medications like Favipiravir, based on their symptoms, avoiding hospital admission.
This initiative, already successful in areas like Chiang Mai and Phuket, supports the ministry's goal to reclassify COVID-19 as an endemic disease, offering home care even for high-risk individuals, while still admitting severe cases to hospitals.
