　(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Thailand's single-day confirmed cases hit a new high, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 50,000

　　China News Agency, Bangkok, April 23 (Reporter Wang Guoan) Thai officials announced on the 23rd that there were 2070 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the past 24 hours. The number of confirmed cases in a single day exceeded 2000 for the first time, a new high.

Data map: On January 4, 2021, local time, staff at Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok, Thailand, disinfected the interior of the train.

　　As of that day, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Thailand exceeded 50,000 to 50,183, of which 30,189 were cured and 121 died.

　　Thailand’s third wave of outbreaks first began at Bangkok’s entertainment venues at the beginning of this month, and soon spread to all provinces across the country, with single-day confirmed cases also hitting new highs.

Since April 14, the number of new confirmed cases every day has exceeded 1,000 for 10 consecutive days.

　　Due to the surge in confirmed cases, Thailand's medical beds have become tight, and some patients with confirmed new coronary pneumonia cannot even be admitted in time.

　　At the same time, the supply of fresh blood in Thai hospitals is in short supply, and the Red Cross Society of the country has urgently appealed to the people to donate blood.

　　The director of the National Blood Center of Thailand said that since the beginning of April, the daily donation volume has plummeted, while the demand for more than 340 hospitals across the country has greatly increased.

She hopes that healthy people across the country will enthusiastically donate blood, and said that all blood donation sites across the country will adopt strict epidemic prevention measures to ensure the safety of blood donors.

　　A research report recently released by the Thai think tank Kaitai Research Center stated that due to the third wave of the epidemic, Thailand’s GDP growth rate in 2021 will fall from the previously predicted 2.6% to 1.8%.

　　The center believes that the new round of the epidemic situation in Thailand is more severe than ever. Although the Thai government has not adopted strict epidemic prevention and control measures for the time being, anxiety about the epidemic situation may lead to a change in Thai people's consumer behavior and make the household consumer confidence index drop.
