webfact Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Four people, including a 13-year old girl, in Thailand’s northeastern province of Udon Thani, have been diagnosed with the Indian variant of COVID-19, but their conditions are not serious and they are being monitored closely, said Udon Thani Governor Sayam Sirimongkol today. Three of them are linked to a construction site in the Laksi district of Bangkok, where the Indian variant was first detected in about 10 workers, prompting district officials to seal off the worker’s housing facility and to forbid the workers from leaving the site, except those who have been admitted to hospital for treatment. According to the chronologies of the cases, the first is a 24-year old woman, working in Pathumwan district, but staying in Laksi. She returned to Non Sa-ard district of Udon Thani on May 11th and tests confirmed she had contracted the Indian variant on May 14th. Eight people were identified as having close contact with the woman, but the first test cleared them of the infection. Results of the second test are still pending.

Popular Post Caldera Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 So the construction worker camp in Laksi was "sealed" after (some? Thai as opposed to migrant?) workers were allowed to go home... Not exactly a winning recipe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same same, last March people were flying around the world spreading a disease that is 99.5% survival rate and you need testing to see if you have it. Vaccines are ready but we haven't got any. How many are infected? What a disgrace! You can travel infected but can't " mingle" on the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Thailand don't like British media talking about "Thai variant", so perhaps Thai medie should stop talking about "Indian variant", as the Indian government don't like that expression...???? Actually, WHO wish us to rewrite the history, so the British variant political correct instead shall be called "alpha", the South African "beta", and the Indian variant "delta"...????

AquaThai Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) The last time a new variant entered Thailand cases went from double or triple digits to almost 6000 a day in just a few months. Now there are talks of vaccine, and distribution, which wasnt within sight when the UK strain arrived. Two questions one how effective are the vaccines against the new strains? Secondly will it be a race to vaccinate before the new strain doubles the 6000 a day? Edited June 1, 2021 by AquaThai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all it takes to keep up the campaign, fear breeds fear. How many people have died here with this variant please, I would also like to know their ages and if they had any pre-existing conditions. While at it, how many have fully recovered and what were they given to help them through their ordeal ? Edited June 1, 2021 by 4MyEgo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These strains spread slightly faster than the previous versions, ignore the media hype coming out of the western world - it's still just COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
