Health officials in Prachuap Khiri Khan reported that there were just 9 new COVID-19 cases in Hua Hin on Wednesday and only a total of 11 throughout the whole province.

 

Two deaths were also reported, while a further 60 people had made a full recovery.

 

In total there have been 1,034 cases during the third wave of infections and as of Wednesday 541 have already been discharged having made a full recovery.

 

Wednesday’s figures are further signs of optimism that the province may be over the worst of the third wave of infections.

 

Earlier this month, on April 12, the number of new cases in the province peaked at 141. 

 

However, since then the number of cases reported daily have fallen significantly, while the number of people making a full recovery have surged.

 

In the past five days the number of new cases reported in a single day have not exceeded 23.

 

Earlier this month, officials in Prachuap Khiri Khan came in for special praise from the Ministry of Public Health for their quick and effective action in dealing with the cluster detect at the Maya Pub in Hua Hin. 

 

This cluster has been responsible for almost 90 percent of the infections in the province and is linked directly to the outbreak at the Krystal Club in Bangkok, which was one of the major clusters discovered in the third wave of infections.

“This has to be grossly underestimated considering the number of tests being done

 

Until Thailand gets its testing ramped up based on stats from other countries these figures are way off.

 

There is only one proven way to estimate virus spread and that is extensive random testing, why Thailand is reluctant to test is quite frankly a gross failure or intentional “ 

Hua Hins 9 cases top the 7 yesterday and 4 on Monday.  Still good to see PKK's cases ramping down significantly.  I assume there would be a drop in those being tested too as there are very many fewer contacts to be tracked and traced from 9 origins than 100.   Looking positive.

If cases continue to rise in Bangkok then Hua Hin which is very popular with Thais who live in Bangkok and many of them have second home here should subject those coming from 'hot zones' to quarantine on entry.

 

If there is a strict lockdown in Bangkok at some point in the future then I think we all know many of them will leave the city and head for their second homes in Hua Hin - this should be 'discouraged' by using a quarantine system.
