The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has decided to maintain the current zoning of COVID-19 areas, even though daily infections are on the rise, especially in “sandbox” provinces, according to CCSA Spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin.

 

He told a press conference today (Friday) that 5,435 COVID-19 infections were reported today in the eight “sandbox” provinces and 3,792 cases in 18 other provinces, altogether accounting for about half of the infections nationwide today. He urged people in those 26 provinces to help health officials to reduce the infection rate so the economy can move forward without further disruption.

 

Bangkok, today, reported 3,019 cases, top of the ten provinces with highest infection rates. Total infections nationally today soared to 15,242, with 23 deaths, including an eight-month old baby.

Its not tourist reason that infections are higher in sandbox provinces! Reason is that there is not so many restriction's on! Tourist's get infected in Thailand not bring more covid in! Tourist are only people who are already tested many times even before come in Thailand!

Something smells fishery to me. Just as the rest of the world is starting to open up the infection rates here which have been quite stable are now jumping to higher levels.

All the all the more reason to keep the protesters of the streets. All the other reasons run a distant 2nd IMO.

Isn't that the opposite to what should happen?
