webfact Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 West of Bangkok has highest number of infections in new wave By The Nation (File Photo) Taweesin Visanuyothin, CCSA spokesman The highest number of new wave Covid-19 infections in Bangkok are in the western area of the city, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said on Tuesday. Since December 20, 606 new cases were reported in the capital, most of whom were people who had gone to the hospital with symptoms or suspected they may have caught the virus. Bangkok’s situation was deemed stable, with only 12 new cases reported on Tuesday and six people who are at risk who have been isolated, CCSA spokesman Taweesin Visanuyothin said.

Only the only two areas in the west of the city that are free of infections are Samphanthawong and Saphan Sung. Taweesin said Bangkok still needs to be closely monitored, especially for transmissions between family members.

Snig27 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 This is old news now mostly and all the last few days BKK cases have been out west and supposedly contained in a small cluster - so why are hundreds of thousands of people having their lives and businesses destroyed still? One suspects, the govt just doesn't care and it's a very handy way of clamping down on protests (as the govt drops any pretence at being a democracy and cracks down). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 One has to wonder what respiratory impact extreme 2.5 air pollution hell currently affecting Bangkok and the rest of Thailand has on the symptoms and spread of covid? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 i am pretty sure if they take a single area and do 1,000 tests, they will see real numbers, not that "selective" contact tracing nonsense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
