webfact Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 187 new Covid-19 cases and two deaths reported By The Nation The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Monday reported two deaths and 187 new cases, including 10 people who had travelled from abroad, in the past 24 hours. Of the new cases, 61 were exposed to the virus while visiting high-risk areas. The province with the highest number of infections was Samut Sakhon (35), followed by Bangkok (20) and Rayong (5). Proactive testing led to the discovery of 116 cases -- 104 foreigners and 9 Thais in Samut Sakhon, two Myanmar nationals in Bangkok and a Thai in Rayong. Of the overseas travellers who tested positive in quarantine, seven are Thai nationals returning from the United Kingdom (5), and one each from Malaysia and Bahrain. Also testing positive were a British man, a Russian woman and a German man who flew in from their respective nations. A female bedridden patient, 56, succumbed to the virus on January 21 after a cardiac arrest. She was the first death in Samut Songkhram province linked to Covid-19. The patient had epilepsy and stroke. On January 21, she felt suffocation and was taken to Somdet Phra Phutthaloetla Hospital. She was put on a ventilator but succumbed. Two high-risk close contacts who lived in the same house have tested positive. One of the two is her husband who had once travelled to Samut Sakhon. A British man, 61, passed away on January 24. He arrived on December 25, developed symptoms on December 28 and the positive result was confirmed on December 29. He reportedly avoided a ventilator until it became difficult for him to breathe on January 9. Meanwhile, 95 patients have recovered and been discharged. As of Monday, the number of confirmed cases in Thailand had risen to 13,687. Of these, 11,313 contracted the virus domestically, including 4,684 who were found via proactive testing, and 2,374 are returnees. So far, 10,662 have recovered and been discharged, 2,950 patients are still in hospital and the death toll has risen to 75. According to Worldometer, as of 10am on Monday, the number of confirmed cases globally had risen to 99.77 million (increasing by 455,867), 73.9 million have recovered, 25.88 million are active cases (110,510 in severe condition) and 2.14 million have died (up by 9,511). Thailand ranks 125th on the global list of most cases. The US tops the list with 25.7 million, followed by India 10.67 million, Brazil 8.84 million, Russia 3.71 million and the United Kingdom 3.64 million. Apisamai Srirangsan, CCSA, assistant spokeswoman, said the number of cases in Bangkok had increased to 700 since December 15. She said a new cluster had been found from the cases of a superspreader who joined DJ Matoom’s birthday party. Total cases in Samut Sakhon had risen to 5,480 cases. Medical teams from other provinces, including from the military, will join active case-finding operation. She hinted at some 800 new cases being reported on Monday afternoon.

I wonder why they waited for the ventilator, unless he was adamant not to have one.

Same thing Gentlemen - I think given the quality of Thai Journalism we can counclude that all newspaper reports no matter how contradictory are both equally truthful and false and that the public should not question the written word. I think they are both right just poorly written and explained. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP to the two have passed on. Be safe folks. Will be nice when the actual stats they have make it into this form so we can see the true locations. Provinces have their own health authorities that report local results. These are later merged with national results which leads to confusing reports from the media and occasional lags. There are databases online that list each and every positive case in Thailand from January 8, 2020 including exact location, time of testing and other info like nationality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I heard on the news that the PM has approved the purchase of vaccines by private hospitals, as long as they've been approved for use in Thailand. Given that there's going to be a tidy sum of money to be made selling them to us farangs, I'm hopeful they'll get moving and start offering the vaccines soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly possible, the test 72 hrs prior to departure can't prevent infected people getting on a plane. If you were exposed within 3 days prior to the test or in the 72 hours afterwards, the test might not see the infection. ASQ is the only barrier to stop cases from entering the country. I think they don't bother testing Thai because they can't forbid their return. But they should test them to lower exposure to others on the plane. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It seems the "second wave" outbreak has been successfully contained and there is no exponential spread. As cases continue to spread elsewhere and lockdowns are being tightened and extended, it looks like things may be relaxed in Thailand by early next month. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus never took off and spread exponentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: They are saying that they will test around 10,000 a day in Samut Sakhon and the 800 number could be found on Mon afternoon or the following days. This is what happens when you mass test and quite honestly shows the previous numbers were bogus.
