By THE NATION

 

 

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) reported 930 new cases on Saturday and the death of a Myanmar labourer in Samut Sakhon province.

 

The cases from foreign countries were 11 persons in the state quarantine and 3 persons crossing over from Malaysia.

 

In the state quarantine, there were 11 cases - four Thais and seven foreigners. The Thai returnees came from South Korea, Nigeria, the UK and Germany.

 

The foreigners consisted of an Iranian, a Nigerian, a Briton, a Russian, a German and two Americans – all travelling from their home countries.

 

Outside the quarantine facilities, three Thai nationals were found infected with Covid-19, crossing over from Malaysia both illegally and legally.

 

As of Saturday, the number of confirmed cases in Thailand had risen to 17,953, 15,501 contracted locally. So far, 8,553 cases have been uncovered through proactive testing, while 2,452 are returnees.

 

A total of 11,505 people have recovered and been discharged from hospitals, while 6,371 are still in hospital. The death toll rose to 77, seven in the second outbreak.

 

CCSA assistant spokesperson Panprapa Yongtrakul said that the latest fatality, a Myanmar labourer, had congenital diseases like liver cirrhosis and alcoholism. He died on January 27.

 

According to the Worldometer, as of 10am, the number of confirmed cases globally had risen to 102.62 million (up by 588,571), of whom 73.86 million have recovered, 108,987 are in severe condition and 2.21 million have died (up by 14,988).

 

Thailand ranks 118th on the global list of most cases. The US tops the list with 26.51 million cases, followed by India 10.73 million, Brazil 9.11 million, Russia 3.81 million and the United Kingdom 3.77 million.

Guess we wait until the afternoon for TV and the nation to give more information on where all of the cases were located.  Looking now at other sites.

889 proactive case:

Samut Sakhon 865,

Samut Prakan 18,

Maha Sarakham 4,

Bangkok 1 

Rayong 1

27 “walk-in” hospital cases:

Samut Sakhon 18

Bangkok 3

Nonthaburi 2

Maha Sarakham 2

Tak 1

Samut Prakan 1

 

Samut Sakhon is going to be one big field hospital at this rate. This is not going according to the plan CCSA announced yesterday and this is now a critical period for Thailand to get this under control. 

 

Stopping mass PCR testing in favour of the cheaper antibody tests is negligent and goes against all scientific advice and guidance. A ticking time bomb.

Maybe they meant comorbid, concurrent or concomitant, congenital generally means existing at birth.

The press has consistently used the term "congenital" where it should be "chronic". 

 

An issue if translation I think.

Seems like a good time to stop testing. 

4 in BKK??????????. Guess you guys who believe this will be saying well done Thailand. What about DJ situation. Under the rug maybe.

Should just ring the whole province for February, no-one in no-one out.

Get to grips with it.

The map of Thailand on the DODC website appears to be frozen yellow.

You're applying logic to the situation, that's not the way it works here.

But then that would be disenfranchising Thai's, and we can not have that now can we.

No worries. Once the Samut Sakhon situation is sorted, we'll drop back down the list again. ????

Understood what you are saying. Thai Visa is The Nation. This article has very little detail.

that's not a Olympic games, who cares which place we are, people are dying and they count positions, this all irrelevant since it's not a number cases per million of population. you cannot really do stats this way

Nonsense. Utter nonsense. Rama IV and Phetkasem run through Samut Sakhon. Both major artieral roads.

A great many expats live in BK. Sure would like to see daily Covid+ infections day by day, every day.

 

Anybody know where to look for that number?

You might find this map useful. Click the province or district you're interested in and a pop-up will show you each case and the date it was found.

Not sure how accurate the information is for each province at the top it provides a summary and number of Thai's affected is always zero.

and it then identifies if male or female and there always some listed as unknown  example

Bangkok

Patients with a mean age of 39 years, 0 Thai nationality and 2774 foreigners. Patients were divided into 1495 male, 1279 female, 0 unknown

And then at the bottom of the screen is lists latest cases and their nationality and the latest are 1 indian and 5 Thai's from the latest 6 cases

You can get to the English version below. I didn't see an English button.

It lists every patient found. Unfortunately, it doesn't go past January 14.

Well we're getting very comfortable with 900 plus cases per day.

Next step coming soon may be 1000 plus cases per day.  

Why aren't they proactive testing in Bangkok ? That will give you a true picture.

What a better time to lift restrictions 

they licked it!

Can only feel suspicious when the cases arnt going up or down...
