Bkk Brian Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The Ministry of Interior has provided each provincial announcement on its official website to provide people a tool to get access to the information for each province about rules and restrictions during the #COVID19 outbreak. Most of the information is in Thai, so please check the general information by choosing your destination on the map and contact the province directly. Please visit the official website of the Ministry of Interior at http://moicovid.comข้อมูลสำคัญ-จังหวัด to search for each provincial announcement. https://twitter.com/prdthailand/status/1435460619679895555 https://www.moicovid.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bit denial-ism to this all. Even people in Thailand, my immigrant friends - they just all want this to be over with, get the malls and bars all open, get back to normal. But the reality is covid is probably really bad in Thailand at the moment (with 40% of the 40,000 tests coming back positive), but people don't want to see it anymore, they don't want to see numbers like 100,000 positive cases. Denial is the way forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 50,000 children aged 10-18 offered free Sinopharm vaccine from Sep 20th Thailand’s Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA), currently the country’s sole importer and administrator of China’s Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine, has announced plans to inoculate children aged 10-18, under its “VACC 2 School” campaign, to help schools reopen for onsite classes sooner, amid reports of online learning problems. Registrations start today (Wednesday). Schools can apply for the vaccine for its students free of charge. A total of 50,000 students will be accepted in preparation for the new school term. The inoculations are scheduled to begin on September 20th, which is also Thailand’s National Youth Day. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/50000-children-aged-10-18-offered-free-sinopharm-vaccine-from-sep-20th/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather save money and not see where the infections and cases are until the folks show up wanting treatment and then test them. Fair enough, With a view like that then the country and in fact all countries should just disregard the shutdown of travel and do away with any rules and regulations. Is that what your possibly alluding to with your view of it being a waste of money. If not please explain how and why you view it as a waste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test, trace and track also employed thousands of new people and was bodged from the start, hardly something you would emulate somewhere else. Besides back to the topic of Thailand. Pro active testing (not the same as test and trace programme in UK) in Thailand is carried out via ATK, costing them 70 baht each, as opposed to 2,000 to process a PCR. With ATK you only then need to PCR test the positive cases and then only if they go into care. Edited September 8, 2021 by Bkk Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
