Popular Post doctormann Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 We keep hearing about the new daily totals but it would be useful to know just how many people were tested. We never seem to be given that information and I'm not sure that the raw figures are all that meaningful if we are trying to assess how the virus is spreading. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 836 new cases, mostly in Samut Sakhon, found via proactive testing By The Nation The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Monday reported 836 new cases, of whom only four were returnees. Apisamai Srirangsan, assistant spokesperson for CCSA, said Thailand found its first domestic Covid-19 case – a taxi driver who contracted without travelling aboard – exactly one year ago. Of the new cases, 39 had been exposed to the virus while visiting high-risk areas, with Samut Sakhon leading the list with 32 cases, followed by five in Bangkok and two in Ratchaburi. Meanwhile, proactive testing led to the discovery of 793 cases, with as many as 782 found in Samut Sakhon alone. Of the four returnees, two are Thais returning from Malaysia and the UK. An American man and a Belgian engineer who flew in from their respective nations also tested positive. Meanwhile, 899 patients have recovered and been discharged. As of Monday, the number of confirmed cases in Thailand has risen to 19,618. Of these, 17,155 contracted the virus locally, including 10,077 who were found via proactive testing, while 2,463 are returnees. So far, 12,514 have recovered and been discharged, 7,027 patients are still in hospital and the death toll remains at 77. According to CCSA statistics, 42 provinces haven’t reported new cases for more than seven days and 14 provinces are still free from infections since the second wave broke out in December. Meanwhile, cases are being found in 14 provinces regularly over the past three days. Apisamai said a cluster in Ratchaburi linked to people who travelled from Maha Sarakham province reported three new cases, including a four-month-old infant. This brings the number of Covid-19 cases in Ratchaburi to 31. She urged people to avoid travelling between provinces and continue wearing masks and maintain hygiene practices. According to Worldometer, as of 10am, the number of confirmed cases globally has risen to 103.53 million (up by 396,465), 75.13 million have recovered, 26.15 million are active cases (107,956 in severe condition) and 2.24 million have died (up by 9,292). Thailand ranks 116th on the global list of most cases. The US tops the list with 26.76 million, followed by India 10.76 million, Brazil 9.2 million, Russia 3.83 million and the United Kingdom 3.8 million.

If you click on "2 days ago" you will see that it is exactly the same figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AmySeeker Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 The virus in Thailand behaves different to the virus found around the world - this one just stays in Samut Sakhon, maybe it's just shy. In all seriousness they should be locking down Samut Sakhon hardcore, ramping up testing there and neighbouring areas, and checking Bangkok - there is literally no way this hasn't spread to neighbouring areas. Either the top brass have had vaccines and don't give a <deleted> anymore and just to allow it to roam - albeit not in heavy numbers so far. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see figures vary from 2k odd a day up to 15k a day. Think the higher numbers on days they actually decide to do active case finding. https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/situation.php Edited February 1, 2021 by Petey11 Added content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
