Doesn't include 93 positive ATK tests either.

Only two dead none of those were murdered and just a few hundred Covid cases a day, the tourists will be queueing up to book their flights to enjoy an alcohol free detox vacation.

 

Cant have a beer but Covid 19 freely available at most locations.

Just did a quick calculation and it turns out covid cases in Phuket (The most vaccinated province in the Kingdom) are about 3 times higher than the national average?

These numbers are relying of course, on how many tests done in each province and so on.. But that information seems to be difficult to publish..

Either way. It doesnt look too good for the zero-covid strategy based on mass vaccination.

I keep wondering why a map or district list is no longer issued. Is it because the one responsible caught the desease or because it would not quite match the reporting or...

Phuket might well be the only place in Thailand that has adequate testing in place, and it's educational how persistent the current wave keeps lingering there still, with no signs of abating thus far.

I thought that too, but when I checked the numbers a couple of weeks ago, Phuket only had about 1.5x as many tests as the average for Thailand, as per below:
