There should be 217 entries here: https://data.go.th/en/dataset/covid-19-daily

 

When I search with 'ภูเก็ต', I get 219. So there-abouts.

 

That's those that have been confirmed with two reference lab tests. The Phuket 7 a couple of days back wasn't recorded in the day they announced it and it's unclear if all of them have been confirmed by the two labs or not.
