Can anyone confirm 10pm curfew from tomorrow?

Darn, even 3 cases in Koh Tao. This virus is really getting around.

"Samui is now red zone in Surat Thani..."

But this is not the same 'red zone' as decreed by Bangkok for the 18 provinces that are official red zones.

This colour coding is just Suratthani saying that the red areas have more than 15 cases. (Samui has 50 cases now.)

[phetphet]

We are now just reaching the end of any 14 day quarantine period from Songkran, so we might be due a further increase in numbers.

 

Let's just hope that the restrictions that have been put in place are enough to stop the spread. Although I doubt it. Still seems to be lax on quarantine of arrivals from red zones.

From today, April 26th...

At least it doesn't mention the beaches. 

Is there a time limit on this lockdown?  Or open ended?

To my knowledge "open ended", and if there is a time limit, it can be extended; someone will for sure let us know when it ends, at least when the party-life reopens...????

Looks like the government hospital is closed? Or maybe the health centre at Bophut?

 

"Bor Phud Hospital on Samui Island in Surat Thani province, closed until May 14th. 7 medics quarantined."

This from Sunday shows Surat Thani:

Sunday's new cases included those found in Bangkok (539), Nonthaburi (276), Samut Prakan (145), Chonburi (89), Pathum Thani (62), Chiang Mai 55, Samut Sakhon (52), Surat Thani (48), Trang (35), Nakhon Ratchasima (34), and Chiang Rai (23).

 

But Samui info by Nicha shows:

Samui only +1 today
(60 confirmed cases in total) 28 already recovered in total. Thank Phangan +0 (17)

There is only one government hospital on Samui, the one in Nathon; but the villages have health centers.

 

There is  no "Bo Phut Hospital", but there are two private hospitals in Bo Phut, they are Bandon Hospital next to BigC and Thai International Hospital opposite Tesco-Lotus.

To be pedantic, Bangkok Hospital and Samui International both are in Tambon Bophut as well. 
But pretty sure they mean a local community health center, not a hospital.

I was hoping that with two days with no cases, that might have been the end of it for a while.

GF told me there was a female "Thai superstar". Her words not mine. That flew to Samui from Bangkok, spent a few nights in Koh Phangan, then spent a few nights in Samui, returned to Bangkok a couple of days ago, and was found to be C19 positive. 

 

Had been to a party in Phuket, had travelled on plane to and from Samui, and on ferry to Phangan. So there could still be more cases to appear yet.
