TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Daily updated charts from the Ministry of Public Health showing how Thailand is faring versus world countries and its regional peer countries ranked by total COVID cases since the start of the pandemic. Thailand moved up one spot to rank 83rd in today's update for total COVID cases among more than 200 countries. Note: the bottom of the first chart below has a typo for Thailand's total new cases reported on Sunday. The chart says 4,258, but the correct number as shown in the second chart below is 4,528. https://www.facebook.com/thaimoph/posts/319266366349940 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Guderian Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 2 hours ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: Most (nearly 80 percent) of the new cases being reported lately in Thailand are coming from Bangkok and five adjoining provinces (often from factories and construction worker camp sites) while nearly 60 of Thailand's 77 provinces are reporting 10 or fewer new cases per day. It seems that a large part of the country is shut down because they can't be bothered to lock down the Greater Bangkok area. When the problem is so clearly focused in one area, surely it makes sense to isolate that area and let the rest of the country get back to normal as soon as it can. As things stand, even if Chonburi and Prachuap had zero cases for a few weeks, they'd still be forced to keep their entertainment businesses closed for fear of an exodus of (possibly infected) Bangkokians. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Of the 2,599 local cases (excluding the cases in prisons and imported cases), the highest numbers by province were 754 in Bangkok followed by 754 in Phetchaburi, 264 in Samut Prakan, 139 in Nonthaburi and 90 in Chonburi. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1398877510885023747 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Thailand's update Sunday for new COVID cases showed the outbreak spreading more into outlying provinces, with four provinces led by Bangkok reporting more than 100 new cases, and five other provinces reporting between 51 and 100 new cases, an increase from prior days. At the other end of the spectrum, 56 of Thailand's 77 provinces reported 10 or fewer new cases, including 34 provinces with between one and 10 new cases, and 22 provinces reporting no new cases at all. https://www.facebook.com/thaimoph/posts/31926998634957 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhacsyn Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Cannot cure inadequate testing or inept vaccine roll out but may be help for Thailand in the not too distant future? Looks promising and potentially more effective than certain spicy Thai food. As an aside, it was given approval in UAE today.

Paul Kernell Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 3 hours ago, mtls2005 said: Are any daily testing figures available? Specifically: location, number of tests, number of positives. Saying there were no new cases in 29 provinces is cool, cooler if there were any tests performed. All the fancy figures and graphs depend on who is doing the counting/testing. Is that data reliable? I don't think so somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 1 hour ago, rabas said: The Thai variant is not 'in' Thailand, it was identified at Suvarnabhumi from an Egyptian pilot. The UK has 100 or more cases. Maybe Britain can re-export back to Thailand but country of origin is still China with Egyptian value added. The Vietnam version sound scary. If I could name mutations it would be e.g.W.M.B.1.1.7 W.M being Wuhan Mutation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 Aiming to deal with the proliferation of COVID cases among hundreds of construction worker camp sites around Bangkok, the government on Sunday announced a new plan of increased site inspections and COVID testing of workers set to start on Tuesday. Government spokesman Natapanu Nopakun said authorities aim to conduct health and safety inspections on up to 30 large construction worker camp sites in Bangkok between June 1 to 10 as a start. The inspections will check for the sites' compliance with COVID prevention measures and conduct rapid COVID tests of workers. Government officials said Bangkok has more than 400 often large construction worker camp sites spread virtually throughout the entire province. And several of those already have emerged with large COVID outbreaks among often largely foreign national workers, including one site alone that had more than 1,000 positive cases. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
