Thailand on Sunday reported 10,863 new COVID-19 cases, 10,383 recoveries and 68 more deaths.

 

The new cases continue the stabilizing trend of infections, which health officials say are the result of an acceleration of Thailand's vaccination program in addition to the preventative measures put in place earlier this year. 

 

Sunday's cases bring the total number of infections to more than 1.78 million while the total of recoveries stand at 1.65 million. There have been 18, 273 deaths, according to the Ministry of Public Health.

 

Meanwhile, more than 62 million vaccine doses have been administered in Thailand to date, with over 50 percent of the population having received at least one vaccine dose. Just over 34 percent of the population have received two doses. 

 

Thailand is currently stepping up the vaccine rollout to students aged between 12 and 18 in a bid to resume in-class learning from November, which is when the second school term would typically begin.

 

Earlier the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said it aims for 70 percent of the population to have received at least one vaccine dose by November, and 70 percent of the population to be fully vaccinated by the end of 2021. 

 

Last week, the CCSA announced an easing of restrictions of across Thailand.

 

The Thai government also confirmed its plan to waive quarantine for fully vaccinated foreign tourists from a number of countries deemed to be low risk.

I don't believe any figures that come out of this pseudo 'government'.  They have an agenda to meet and the truth is not part of it.

The average folk are treated like mushrooms.

Analysis: All of the currently known details about reopening Pattaya and other parts of Thailand to vaccinated foreign tourists without quarantine from November 1st

 

At this point, there is still heated internal discussion between various conflicting departments and organizations at a national level on how to do this safely.

 

We would advise readers to NOT BOOK ANY FLIGHTS OR HOTELS that can not be canceled and fully refunded until all details are final.

 

If you do book, do so for an existing program like the Phuket Sandbox or a 7-day quarantine and be pleasantly surprised if things ease before then.

How does that work?

I cannot, of course, speak for all of Thailand but the volunteer groups that we support in my area reach their daily targets. How? Through a lot of extremely exhaustive hard work.

 

Also, impressive to read about the vaccination centre doing students in Nonthaburi. 1200 staff doing 50 jabs per minute at 80 stations, 20,000 per day. Below posted before:
