webfact Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 File photo. Credit Thai PBS Thailand on Wednesday (February 16) reported 16,462 new COVID-19 cases, 10,868 recoveries and 27 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. ▶︎ Infections outside prisons: 16,326. Prisons: 136 ▶︎ Recoveries: 10,868 Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 2,639,062 with 22,516 deaths. The news comes as the main concerns surrounding the rapid transmissibility of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, which accounted for 97.2% of samplings of infections last week, are not hospitalisation or mortality rates, but the long-term effects on the mental and physical health of the patients, known as long COVID, according to a senior Thai doctor. These symptoms may disrupt patients’ ways of life, their families, their working efficiency, as well as having long-term economic and social impacts, at both the individual and national levels, according to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thira Woratanarat of the Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University. *Thai PBS 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 2022-02-16 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Makes you wonder how many more are testing at home and not reporting the positive results and just going on about their daily lives. Even over here where I am currently the numbers are dropping down pretty quickly, and I am still testing myself weekly as I do when I am back home in Bangkok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter zwart Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I think we've heard enough fear stories. I would rather read posts about how Thailand is going to open up without all those exaggerated measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 980 primary schools in Nakhon Ratchasima suspend on-site classes due to COVID-19 A total of 980 primary schools, or 70% of all the schools in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima, have suspended on-site classes in favour of online learning after clusters of COVID-19 infections were detected in several districts in the province. In the latest development, the provincial health office reported clusters of infections in four schools on Monday, in the districts of Muang, Chakkarat, Bua Yai, and Phra Thong Kham. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/980-primary-schools-in-nakhon-ratchasima-suspend-on-site-classes-due-to-covid-19/? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused, me thinks. Have to remember every tourist is tested twice, whether they have symptoms or not. Locals are probably only testing if they don't feel well or they are forced too with regards to close contacts or employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their infection rates are much higher than Bangkoks, adjusted for population size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
