Prison cases included or is this a major spike on its own from the entertainment venue cluster now. Oh bother, glad I am in Chiang Mai for a week.  Hopefully, I stay safe and ahead of the mass exodus for bangkok.  Stay safe folks

I believe the prison cases were reported on Saturday.

If they were included in yesterday's number it doesn't match up.

It is confusing.  Two announcements on many days or more and it is difficult to understand a true count.  It would also be interesting to know the percentage of people entering quarantine who test positive.  I still don't quite understand how so many people test positive in quarantine given the strict procedures and tests that are 'supposed' administered before these individuals arrive.

The Narathiwat prison numbers were reported in the news yesterday, but they didn't get counted into the government's official daily tally until today's / Monday's morning update, AFAIK.

In the EN language COVID update video provided this / Monday morning, the CCSA spokesman made mention that several unnamed private international schools in BKK had closed their campuses temporarily, because of outbreaks among students' parents and/or in their local communities.

 

At about the 40 min mark in the video below.

The provinces breakdown below has a lower 182 total because it's not including the 12 additional "imported" cases counted above.

There seems to be little or no concern regarding the large rise in cases in Bangkok. All the progress achieved by previous lockdowns has been wasted, and the capital is now on the verge of large scale infection. Why the change in direction? The current level of infection warrants immediate closure of all pubs, bars, entertainment areas etc. Interprovincial travel should be reintroduced and all Songkran activities banned. Why is Thailand not learning from the mistakes made by Europe and the USA?

One word FACE.  That's why they won't listen or pay attention. Also because Thailand is the center of the Universe

You  have obviously never tried to tell a Thai how to do something.

One advantage Thailand has is that it doesn't carry out testing in such large numbers as europe and USA. Uk 1 million plus tests a day PCR/cross lateral flow. Don't test big numbers, don't find, easy.

Maybe they have and that is why they are not doing it.

"Local transmissions" have been consistently exceeding quarantine transmission by several times. Until about February this year it was the reverse. 

Shows the authorities have traded medical discipline for profit. To no benefit of the rising death toll.

Country needs to be in full virus testing and vaccine distribution modes!

More focused on their stupid Phuket plans no foreigner in their right mind will do. Thousands are about to die because they are so focused on $$$ for their already rich friends.

Ryan... Hate to burst your bubble, but here have been 4 confirmed cases in Chiang Mai this afternoon. Unfortunately the public is not being informed where they are! Not helpful as Chiang Mai is a huge province, 2nd biggest in Thailand...

Thanks for the update. Will keep masked up as we visit and sanitized.  Today Chiang Mai was a ghost town around the Tha Pae gate Area, and we were the only ones at Wat Chedi.
