There were 14 cases of Covid-19, the biggest increase over a 24-hour period in weeks, the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) reported on Saturday (July 11).

 

 

But Thailand has gone 47 days without a domestic case.

 

The new patients were returnees in state quarantine, the CCSA said. One patient had returned from Bahrain, one from the US, and 12 from Sudan.

 

In Thailand, the total number of cases since the outbreak, as of Saturday, was 3,216, with 58 deaths, 3,088 recoveries, and 70 undergoing treatment in hospitals.

 

Patients in Bangkok and Nonthaburi accounted for 1,782 of the total cases nationwide.

Those are thai people who lived or worked from another countries.  To come back to Thailand they need to get approve from Thai consulate to get charter flights.  So Thai consulate will ask for Covid test to be negative 72 hours and fit to fly document before allow them to catch the flight.  If there were negative before flight then they are possibly negative.  Asymptomatic carrier should be test as positive but does not show symptom.  So there should not be any asymptomatic carrier on the flight.  So the infected person had covid but did not show in blood test.  When they arrived in Thailand and quarantine, the covid showed up after couple day.  Now the passengers who flown with the person will catch it too?

Possibly, but they’re going into quarantine as well, so it’s not a big problem.

You dont seem to have a clue. All the new cases are Thai's returning from abroad.

Yes, I was thinking exactly the same thing, at least when I could decipher his English - retournees, decouver, he evidently hasn't heard of a spelling checker either, lol.

But one poorly informed, semi-literate poster is not unexpected, what's more worrying is that at the time I wrote this his garbage post had actually received 8 likes.

Are you joking it has been here since December or earlier.

The strain mutation that occurred in Europe hasn't had a chance to spread within Thailands borders, because Thailand locked down before it was able to. When the borders open to tourists it's inevitable there will be domestic infections, that's just the reality of a virus with this incubation period.

Thailands pandemic has yet to start, once the borders open and an influx of the more virulent strain are brought in, things will start to unravel 

Exactly.  Unless they keep borders it locked down forever, it is going to come in.  Only putting off the inevitable.

 

But, I guess an agrarian economy can stay locked down forever.  don't need anything from outside to survive.

LMFAO it's July and we are still here with "the more virulent strain" BS

It's not about the severity of the virus it is largely mild for 99 percent of the people and has been blown out of proportion for western nations and underplayed here.  Use your brain if we had wuhan visitors here since december many infected where did the virus go to the moom?

It isn't that bad apparently, reasonable hotel room, free meals, internet and TV, just must get a tad boring!

Once in the hotel there is no interaction with others, so unless already positive, the chances of contracting the virus whilst in quarantine are almost nil.

can you get a box of beer sent up ..... ?
