Thailand on Saturday (September 18 ) reported 14,109 new COVID-19 cases, 13,280 recoveries and 122 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.

 

◼︎ 13,280 recoveries

◼︎ 13,255 new infections 

◼︎ 854 prison / prison infections

 

▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 1,434,038 

▶︎ Total recoveries since since April 1: 1,290,101

 

Saturday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 1,462,901 with 15,246 deaths.

 

The news comes as back in late April, Thailand announced plans to purchase Russia’s Sputnik V, the world’s first registered COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Given the Thai government’s desperation to diversify vaccine supplies and Sputnik V’s portrayal as a decent alternative to the mRNA vaccines that are difficult to manufacture and store, the announcement was much hyped. But, four months later, Sputnik V has mysteriously vanished from the public discourse.

 

Sputnik V’s endorsement process has been moving at a very slow pace. Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to approve the Russian vaccine for import and domestic distribution.

 

At a broader level, the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has allowed international visitors vaccinated with Sputnik V to enter Phuket and other selected destinations under the Phuket Sandbox 7+7 Extension scheme to boost tourism. Even so, this rather modest move took weeks to finalize.

CCSA spokesman explaining the coding system:

 

Thailand has two sets of color-coded zoning schemes that involved the spread of COVID-19 in the country. o One set is to demonstrate areas and infection rate per population. o The other set is to indicate level of pandemic control requirements and precaution guidelines. (1/3)

 

For the COVID-19 Infection Rate, the government has established a five-color scheme—red, orange, yellow, green, and white. o “RED” are areas with infection over 100 people, “ORANGE” 51-100 cases,“YELLOW” 11-50 cases, “GREEN” between 1-10 cases. “WHITE”=no infection. (2/3)

 

If we go down to district, subdistrict, village, communities, the green & even white zones (no infection) increase proportionately & exponentially. http://fb.com/informationcovid19 Deeper in detail, the reds are seen in specific villages, not entire provinces (3/3)

Doubt Thailand will proceed with this until it’s had approval from WHO

Good gyms have disinfectant and cleaning protocol by staffs and members are told to do the same when they use the equipments. My advise to you is to find another gym. Your gym is a ticking time bomb.

Full lockdowns work, even with the Delta variant.

 

Thailand mucked around, and even started a partial reopening.

Not to mention allowed a free-for-all travel extravaganza at Songkran when they knew the virus was already out and about.

Why is Phuket not a Deep Red Zone ?

How would T.A.T.'s press releases to the world look then? Red zone in Thailand, remained on the red list in the announcement yesterday from the UK.
