249 new local infections and wide open for travel inside.

Phetchabun 44 new local infections and still a dark red zone e.g. maximum restrictions apply.

Doesn't make sense does it.

Ageed…

 

Were the positive ‘Sandbox cases’ identified on the arrival test (taken at the airport) or on the day 6 or day 11 test ??? 
 

Was a second PCR test taken to eradicate the possibility of a false positive - seems a shame to ruin a holiday due to a test error.

Only 163 in ‘correctional facilities’ .., hmmmmm… 

 

Anyone else thinking they’ve stopped testing inmates ? Social distancing in Thai prisons is hardly a thing.

Phuket b ecoming a high risk place even concidering vaccination rate. Sandboxes should be shut ASAP, at least the whole idea has to be amended. ckearly id doesn't work, just watch Samui sandbox in a 2-3 weeks

It's Phipats dream scheme, they can't stop it now it would be such a thorn in the side to his plans to continue and do the same to other locations.
