Thailand's DDC recorded 87,770 flu cases in August 2026, the top communicable disease. What should pharmacies and clinics, often the first stop, prepare?
The Nation reported on 15 September 2026 that the DDC recorded 87,770 flu cases in August, 376,531 cumulative and 57 deaths from 1 January to 8 September.
Children aged 5–9 had the most cases, while people 60 and over made up 37 of the 57 deaths. The DDC advised masks, frequent handwashing, distancing, ventilation and vaccination for risk groups.
Many flu patients first visit a pharmacy or local clinic, where small waiting rooms mix the sick with older people. Masks, hand-wipe points, ventilation and after-hours fogging are needed.
