【曼谷4月21日电】中新社记者报道，泰国疾病控制中心在21日发布的一项最新数据显示，今年的宋干节（泼水节）过后，泰国的新冠肺炎疫情形势急剧恶化，住院病例呈现显著上升态势。
据《曼谷邮报》引述官方数据，自宋干节假期结束以来，全国范围内新报告的新冠肺炎住院病例数显著增加，这引发了人们对新一轮疫情爆发的担忧。泰国疾病控制中心表示，这一现象可能与节日期间人员流动加大、社交距离放宽有关，大量民众在庆祝活动中聚集，增加了病毒传播的风险。
泰国政府此前曾呼吁民众在庆祝宋干节时遵守防疫规定，包括限制大规模聚会、佩戴口罩和保持社交距离。然而，尽管有这些措施，病例的激增仍显示出防控挑战的艰巨性。
卫生部门警告，如果病例持续攀升，可能需要采取更严格的防疫措施，包括局部封锁和限制公共场所的开放。同时，泰国政府正在加速疫苗接种计划，以期通过免疫接种来遏制病毒的传播。
此次疫情反弹对泰国的公共卫生系统和经济复苏构成了新的压力。政府和卫生专家呼吁民众保持警惕，遵守防疫措施，共同应对这一轮疫情挑战。泰国疾病控制中心强调，每个人都应承担起防疫责任，以防止疫情进一步恶化。

News Title: “COVID-19 Cases Surge in Thailand Post-Songkran Festival: Sharp Rise in Hospitalizations”
Keywords: Thailand’s COVID-19 situation, post-Songkran, case spike
News Content:
**Bangkok, April 21 – Xinhua News Agency** – According to a recent report by the Thai Disease Control Department on Wednesday, the COVID-19 situation in Thailand has deteriorated drastically after this year’s Songkran Festival, also known as the Water Festival, with a significant increase in hospital admissions.
Citing official data from the _Bangkok Post_, the number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations across the country has notably risen since the end of the Songkran holiday, raising concerns about a new wave of infections. The Thai Disease Control Department attributed this development to increased mobility and relaxed social distancing during the festival period, when large crowds gathered for celebratory activities, escalating the risk of virus transmission.
The Thai government had previously urged citizens to adhere to COVID-19 prevention guidelines during the festival, including limiting mass gatherings, wearing masks, and maintaining social distance. Despite these measures, the sharp rise in cases underscores the formidable challenge of containment.
Health authorities have warned that stricter control measures, such as localized lockdowns and restrictions on public places, might be necessary if the number of cases continues to climb. In parallel, the Thai government is accelerating its vaccination campaign, hoping to curb the virus spread through inoculation.
This resurgence of the pandemic poses new pressures on the country’s public health system and economic recovery. The government and health experts are urging the public to remain vigilant, abide by preventive measures, and collectively confront this latest wave of infections. The Thai Disease Control Department emphasized that every individual must shoulder their responsibility in防疫 efforts to prevent the situation from worsening further.
