PHUKET:-- Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana has asked for the two government field hospitals set up to treat people infected with COVID-19 to be “temporarily suspended” due to the low number of people receiving treatment at the two facilities.

 

The Phuket Communicable Disease Committee at Provincial Hall this morning (May 12),pointed out that Phuket had not experienced the high number of confirmed cases of people infected with COVID-19 that was predicted by health officials six weeks ago.

 

Governor Phakaphong pointed out that as of Mar 31 health officials had predicted that Phuket would have 677 confirmed cases by April 26.

Thin ice ...
Very thin ice ...

Very few Covid cases in the last weeks here in Phuket. 

Schools will open here in the 15th. Official tambon foghorn announcement yesterday mid-morning.

Surin Beach shopping precinct checkpoint to Bang Tao Tesco checkpoint again locked down again since last Friday. Only essential services allowed out. 

No new cases in Surin area, no cases out of Surin - period yet we are locked down again!

<deleted>!!!!!!!!!!!!

The small cluster (3 folks in one family I believe) that came out of Bang Tao was contained about 10 days back, no new ones since then. The Bang Tao area has been totally locked down for about 25 days prior to these new cases emerging.
