Has CM had any recent covid outbreaks?

[TSF 2,478]

Considering visiting CM in near future and just curious if there's any need for extra concern? We will obviously be taking all the usual precautions...facemasks, using hand sanitizer, washing hands frequently, avoiding close contact with others. Has there been any specific local warnings recently?

[Trujillo 2,193]

There has been no local outbreaks for over 5 months in Thailand. 

 

Where have you been? 

 

This post smacks of baiting.

No baiting whatsoever. Thanks for the info, it's what I wanted to hear. I guess my concern arises from CM and a couple of other places we'd like to visit being near the Myanmar border, where I believe there are covid outbreaks, so it crossed my mind perhaps there has been some local warnings that I hadn't heard about. Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

That's a civil reply to a testy and irritable response to your question.

   Welcome to Chiang Mai if you decide to come.

   Just take reasonable health precautions and try to avoid the crabby old farts in the expat community here.

So true.

 Stick with Thais... they're much more fun.

   Especially the girls

Not true -there was a mystery case involving an Indian who had been here the whole time down Krabi way a couple of weeks back. There were a handful before that; put it this way, the Thai government stopped providing a figure on how many days there had been no community cases after day 101 when the first community case popped up - that was the DJ in Bangkok if I recall. 

[lordblackader 1,199]

There hasn't been a case in Chiang Mai for roughly 200 days now. 

 

Chiang Mai Data Center provides all the local stats.

There seems to be very little covid in Thailand. It only seems to get picked up when people depart Thailand and arrive somewhere else.  A korean person departed recently and tested positive on arrival in Korea. Japan has identified infected people arriving from Thailand.  Do they get infected on the aircraft? Myanmar has reported the same but how good is their screening? 

 

Also the Indian man who had been in Thailand for months and recently tested positive. So officially no local covid in Thailand except for these regular "anomalies" .

What about the French woman who came down with it? Not sure but I think it might had been in Samui. Recalling the article (unless I had forgotten the details) she came into the country, tested negative, went into the 14 day quarantine, came out of quarantine and tested negative again, went shopping about and then came down sick a few days later, and tested positive.

 

So if testing is not valid or the incubation period is longer than 14 days then she contacted it locally somewhere, however it was not in CM.

The bottom line is, nobody appears to be severely sick or dying from covid in Thailand. As to whether it is active and being passed around, as there is no mass testing, apart from out of country arrivals, who could say?

Dr Yong, the famous virologist form Chulakorn University, recommends wearing full hazmat suits for ALL domestic trips.  The motto being 'You Can Never Be Sure Enough' and 'Never Let Your Guard Down', advice that proved 100% effective to curb the risk of sudden T-Rex attacks.

Nothing recent unless you bring some.

You'll need to ask the one-eyed man for a chance of an accurate answer.

 

Only a chance.......a very slim one.

 

(You'll never get close enough to ask anyway)

Chiangmainews.co.th appears to be reporting reporting a case of a local woman confirmed with the virus.
