Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Chonburi can't seem to shake of the virus. 2 month in and with less testing. Chonburi Public Health Office has just announced that they have 81 new cases. The total new cases so far is now 5,200. Most cases are in Si Racha (47) and Chonburi City (16). So far, 4,287 have been discharged leaving 883 remaining in care https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1402786770136100864 Edited June 10, 2021 by Bkk Brian 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RobMuir Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 Have to say they, while not doing a perfect job, have seemed to have struck a reasonable balance with this Alpha British strain. Similar population to the UK but only about 1% of the deaths from this strain compared to the UK which has the advantage of being an island. No deaths would be ideal, but 43 isn't too bad compared to the worst day in the UK which was 1,800 plus which is worse than the total for the entire time in Thailand. The vast majority of Thais who have succumb were old or overweight. Let's hope they keep the numbers low and have success with the vaccine roll out and things can start getting back to relatively normal again. 9 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look back at the Samut Sakhon lock and seal they did, we never truly were given much information from what was going on inside, just random numbers and testing which did not tell us much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Facebook feed is starting to fill up with pictures of friends and family sat in the sunshine in pub gardens in the UK. The last thing they'd want to do is spend thousands of pounds to jump through hoops so they can sit in an aircraft for 12 hours and spend 2 weeks in a country where they can't even have a beer outside their hotel room and most of the tourist orientated places are boarded up. The cherry on the cake is that they face quarantine when they get back to the UK. Who needs that after 15 months of lockdown?

It seems that might be the case, which would be fantastic news. The date was originally set for May 17 but was changed twice – to June 1 and then June 14 – in a bid to curb Covid-19 from spreading. “The ministry has tasked all schools to prepare for the reopening and adjust their teaching based on one or more of five approaches to suit the situation in their respective area,” she said. The five approaches are: 1. On-site: schools offer teaching at their facilities as usual. 2. On-demand: teaching is provided via mobile applications. 3. Online: teaching is provided online via the internet. 4. On-hand: lesson and exercise materials are delivered to students at home. 5. On-air: teaching is provided via satellite TV programmes to students in remote areas. “Schools that choose the on-site approach must prioritise the safety of students from Covid-19 and provide necessary facilities such as hand-washing stations and spaced seating in classrooms to maintain social distancing,” Treenuch said. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40001858?fbclid=IwAR01qESDfNWHlZSwQ6i40FYFdPLdUnNkMMLzV7nnm3xCfIeIYG08XE3MGOM Edited June 10, 2021 by brewsterbudgen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Chiang Mai had about 4,000 #COVID19 cases in this wave (Apr 1), now it’s just a few per day. It’s a good sign that things are improving in some parts of Thailand - but also that the overwhelming majority of cases are in Bangkok and neighboring provinces (and prisons). https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1402819207167766530 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Governor of Chonburi has signed the order to keep schools closed for on-site learning from 14 June until further notice. He told schools that they have to do a mixture of on air, online, on demand, and on hand. If your school is in the dark red zones it will probably be the same. Schools elsewhere in the country are allowed to open their campuses if they get permission from the local authorities. https://www.facebook.com/richardbarrowthailand/posts/347544243398512 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
