webfact Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 File photo: REUTERS Thailand on Tuesday (November 30) reported 4,306 new COVID-19 cases, 6,407 recoveries and 37 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. ▶︎ Infections outside prisons: 4,183. Prisons: 123 ▶︎ Recoveries: 6,407 ▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 2,087,009 ▶︎ Total recoveries since since April 1: 1,992,002 Tuesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 2,115,872 with 20,771 deaths. The news comes as public health authorities have now confirmed that the RT-PCR method is capable of detecting the new variant and the method is still in use globally. Department of Medical sciences Director-General Supakit Sirilak said his department has been constantly checking the genomes of the coronavirus and feeding reports into the GISAID global database that provides access to genomic data of influenza viruses. With the appearance of the Omicron variant of the virus that causes COVID-19, which is considered a variant of concern by the World Health Organization, the department has yet to discover the variant among 8 recently collected samples or from the 75 other samples collected since Thailand’s reopening to international visitors on November 1. All of the said samples were of the Delta variant and subvariants. Dr. Supakit asserted that if Omicron variants make their way into the country, his department will quickly discover them as the variant identification process at 15 medical science centers nationwide is now being adjusted to focus on the Omicron variant. *NNT contributed to this report Discover Cigna’s range of health insurance solutions created for expats and local nationals living in Thailand - click to view -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-11-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Get your business in front of millions of customers who read ASEAN NOW with an interest in Thailand every month - email [email protected] for more information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the numbers dropping but vigilance is a must. Drove home to BKK this morning early and when I stopped to pick up some items for breakfast half of the folks were not wearing masks. Folks are seeing the numbers drop and tourists arriving and feel that they are safe. With that said, last night I watched many groups of Thais sitting on the Hua Hin beach in groups 10+, eating and drinking alcohol as if there was not a care in the world.

Popular Post sirineou Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 I was talking to my sister in Italy and she is worried as covid cases are rising fast, same in Greece where my brother is, and as I hear in other European countries. And all of these countries have a significantly higher rate of vaccinations with a better quality of vaccines. So why are cases on the decline here in Thailand with a lower rate of vaccinating and on the rise in Europe? Is it under reporting in Thailand ? is it that we are behind the curve and it is coming here also. Is it that it was here already and we got through it? Or is it something else? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that many poorer Thais are apprehensive about being tested when they don't feel well, so the soldier through it, and recover, thus the infection goes under reported. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can learn something from Cambodia success which even outpaced wealthier neighbouring South East countries in their vaccination drive. They mandate vaccines, hard on misinformation, low level of vaccine hesitancy and quick to receive the 27 million doses out of the 30 million required from China.

Bkk Brian Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Health Ministry Prepares Serious Defense against Omicron BANGKOK, Nov 30 (TNA) – Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha said the Public Health Ministry seriously prepared itself to cope with the newly found Omicron variant of COVID-19 and visitors would continue to be tested for the disease with the RT-PCR technique. Mr. Sathit said that the emergency operation center of the Public Health Ministry this morning discussed responses to the Omicron variant. Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul attended the meeting online from abroad and ordered serious responses including intensified screening procedures on visitors. The authorities are considering suspending the decision to replace RT-PCR tests with antigen tests for air travellers following the emergence of the Covid 19 variant Omicron. https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-833655 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about screening and testing more folks in the country to maybe, oh say...possibly get ahead of this issue and check to see if it has not arrived in country already and is not showing any more than few symptoms like the common cold would show. Just got back in from making a trip to Makro, and the hacking and coughing I was hearing was disturbing, Employee's obviously showing symptoms of some kind of issue as well as customers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
