Thailand on Thursday (February 3) reported 9,172 new COVID-19 cases, 7,832 recoveries and 21 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. 

 

▶︎ Infections outside prisons: 8,950. Prisons: 222

▶︎ Recoveries: 7,832

 

Thursday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 2,465,723 with 22,228 deaths.

 

The news comes as a total of 23,660 travellers applied for a Thailand Pass to enter the country through the “Test and Go” quarantine exemption scheme yesterday (Tuesday), the first day the scheme resumed after registration was suspended on December 22, following the emergence of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.

 

Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said today (Wednesday) that he expects more travellers to apply to visit Thailand under the program in the future. About 5,500 others also registered for the pass yesterday for other entry options such as the sandbox, and alternative quarantines.

With Omicron posing considerably less of a threat than it's predecessors, one would hope that this will be the last change of policy, as hitherto the Government's policy has tacked more than a competition sailing boat.  Unless of course there is some ulterior motive which might involve the furtherance of an offbeat tourism strategy based on odd puritanical idyll.

Dot point 6. 

It's a fair summation. 

 

Keeping case numbers low is however dependent on social distancing measures and has a severe effect on tourism, which is a key driver of the economy.

 

Moreover, suppressing infection with Omicron could actually be counter productive, since it is inherently milder than previous variants and offers potential for naturally acquired T cell immunity.

 

It's about finding a balance- Thailand certainly doesn't have it.

An uptick in the numbers Today.

Maybe they are starting to include all the Russian and Khazak people in Phuket that are testing Positive.

The Governor of Phuket has gone to the CCSA with his concerns over 200 of these Folk - a Day, who are testing positive
