Seasonal Surge in COVID-19 Infections Expected to Subside in February COVID-19 infection rates are currently rising due to seasonal patterns and are expected to decrease in February, Dr. Yong Poovorawan from Chulalongkorn University revealed

This pattern mirrors other respiratory diseases, which often spike in the rainy season.

Entering its fourth year, COVID-19 has become less severe although it still mutates, as seen with the XBB sub-variants.

Mild symptoms are now more common, but individuals with existing health conditions are advised to remain cautious and maintain preventive measures like mask-wearing and regular hand hygiene.
