Would have been a good idea to give everyone there a jab of Chinese vaccine some months ago. Now it's too late. 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) even, if the majority were in detention centers, still it looks like there is also rise in clusters spread from bank kae markets. And, of course, prison guards are at risk. As with burmese workers in samut sakhon, those infected are not necessarily separated from the negatives.

Over the past 24 hours, 337 new local cases were confirmed through active case-finding and 46 others were found at hospitals. The vast majority of the 337 new cases diagnosed through mass testing – 318 – were at the immigration police detention facility in Bangkok’s Bang Khen district. Five other community cases were detected in Bangkok, twelve in Samut Sakhon province and two in Nakhon Pathom. Testing at hospitals confirmed 29 new cases in Bangkok, nine in Nakhon Pathom, five in Samut Sakhon and one each in Khon Kaen, Pathum Thani and Nonthaburi. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more healthy people tested, the better the numbers look. Also, in some countries, people who never tested positive for it have been listed as dying of COVID (underlying causes). Different countries use different 'methodologies'. Complicated. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post POUNPOUI Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hello from Switzerland. I was in quarantine from 11 to 26 January in BKK. Of the new cases, 337 were local transmissions, while 18 were imported from people entering quarantine. 46 others were found from contact tracing. It's strange that there is 18 people new covid-19 when entering quarantine, because if you travel by plane from other countries YOU MUST have RT-PCR covid-19 test NEGATIVE. 7 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sheryl Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 IDC was an accident waiting to happen. Just as the cramped lodgings and work conditions of migrant workers in the seafood industry were. Apparently 297 out of the 337 cases were at IDCs. So non-IDC cases just 40. Plus the 46 found on contact tracing = 86 cases of local transmission not counting the IDC outbreaks. In line with recent trends. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Bangkok Post they do list from which countries they came from, but not their nationality. If they were all Thais then they are not required to have a Covid test prior to flight. Other nationalities could have tested negative, but contracted the virus afterwards. The system is not foolproof, hence the continued need for quarantine. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thailand records 401 new COVID-19 cases today, Health Minister claims no third wave Thailand today recorded 401 new COVID-19 cases, including a cluster of 318 infections among illegal immigrants held at Suan Plu and Bang Khen detention centres, the CCSA announced today (Tuesday). Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul maintains, however, that the current surge in new cases is not a sign of a third wave of infections, but just cluster infections and that the situation is under control. Of the new cases, 383 are locally-acquired infections, including 337 found during proactive screening in communities.
