COVID-19 Pandemic Response: Thailand

Give2Asia is partnering with trusted nonprofit organizations responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Donate online to support local relief efforts.

SITUATION UPDATE: February 2022

Official COVID-19 numbers reached 23,557 new cases on February 24. This is the highest number recorded since announcements began in August last year. It is believed that the number of infections in Thailand is three times higher than what has been recorded, since many cases are not reported to the authorities. Local authorities are advising asymptomatic patients to do home treatment until they recover; meanwhile, patients experiencing symptoms would be supplied with medication from health district facilities.

CURRENT NEEDS 

Give2Asia’s disaster response program funds both immediate needs and long-term recovery. Currently, our funding priorities in Thailand include: 

• Medical supplies for health care workers 
• COVID-19 prevention and control information for vulnerable groups 
• Income generation and career support for those affected by the closure of businesses due to COVID-19 pandemic
