Thailand warned 2026 flu cases would exceed last year's, with 137,276 cases in the first two months and outbreaks concentrated in communities and schools. What should village halls used for events prepare?
Thai Post reported on 12 March 2026 that a government deputy spokesperson, citing the DDC, said Thailand had 137,276 flu cases and 8 deaths from 1 January to 9 March 2026, with the highest rates in Phayao, Phitsanulok, Chiang Mai and Lamphun.
Outbreaks were concentrated in communities and schools, and 2026 was expected to exceed 2025 as social activity and travel resumed. Advice included vaccination especially for high-risk groups, frequent handwashing and masks, with sick people resting and avoiding close contact.
Village halls host meetings, merit-making events, vaccination days and senior activities, with all ages sitting close and sharing chairs, mics and dishes. With outbreaks concentrated in communities, halls need special care: masks and hand hygiene supplies, ventilation and cleaning before and after events.

If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Q: Who faces the highest flu death risk? A: Most deaths are in people 60 and over and those with chronic illness, who should be vaccinated.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
The 2026 data shows flu hitting communities hard. Well-kept village halls let communities gather safely.
