Speaking at the Indoor Sports Stadium in Saphan Hin on Saturday, the last day of covid vaccination injections before the centre shuts down until the end of the month, Vachira Phuket Hospital Director Chalermpong Sakontapol said, “The infections are mostly the new strain ER 17 [sic] from Europe. It spreads quickly, but the symptoms are not as severe [as previous strains].

Stargeezr Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hey, if it came from the UK, it could be any one of the 4 variants, as well as the original, but heck if it came from Cambodia, it could also be any one of the 4 variants as well. Get ready for a big 3rd wave Thailand. Canada is not doing to well with the 3rd wave, but the vaccinations are flowing. Stay safe and healthy all.
