After a TV anchor tested positive on Friday morning, Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesman Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin announced that he and his team may be at risk.

 

The National Broadcasting Services (NBT) TV anchor usually helps the CCSA team during their daily press briefing.

 

Taweesin said he will take a Covid-19 test in the afternoon and then go into isolation.

 

Mobile biosafety units will also be sent to the NBT building to test everybody inside. So far, there is no information on who may be at high risk.

CCSA spokesman, Dr. Taweesin Wissanuyothin, revealed today that he will be tested for COVID-19 and will self-quarantine, after a news anchor from Thailand’s state broadcaster NBT tested positive for the virus.

 

Dr. Taweesin explained that people at high-risk are those who work with the news anchor, including an assistant at the CCSA’s news briefing, who had close contact with Dr. Taweesin.

 

After the news of the infected TV news anchor broke, the Disease Control Department launched a tracing exercise to identify people who are at high, medium and low risk.

How incredibly unlucky. With so few cases in Bangkok, what are the chances of that...

I know, with the DJ yesterday too.

 

It's as if it is already rampant among the population and they can't brush it under the carpet if a celebrity gets it.

They need to start testing more than those that show up at a hospital with symptoms and if course the entire Samut Sakhon Area and factories like they are currently doing.  This right here is an indication that the virus is more widespread then they want to show,, but alas they will not undertake widespread testing, and only choose to test where they want.

The CCSA, does anyone actually believe the statistics they produce? 2 weeks ago the village boss announced over the PA system that there was a person with Covid admitted to the main hospital near us, CCSA, nope absolutely nothing, same as it has been for the last 10 months. We live close to a major Cambodian/Tha border crossing, the Cambodians that have recently returned to Cambodia are being put in isolation for 2 weeks, I wonder why that might be?

It is quite possible that several TVF members have COVID right now and aren't even aware of it. Should widespread testing start, I would assume they would be packed up and sent to private hospitals at their own expense. Last time I accepted lodging at a private hospital, that was about 20,000 baht per day. Wonder what such action would do to financial stability of foreigners found infected.

So your point being what Don't test, Don't Tell, and what else, Expats do not have insurance to cover hospital costs....well now, isn;t that a pickle we are in....

Not at all. I fully agree with testing of entire population, and much harsher penalties for those crossing border illegally. Like North Korea style penalties for illegal border crossing. Just pointing out that should this happen, some members of this forum could be in trouble if forced hospitalised at own expense.

Cambodia is not the only country where you have to quarantene when you enter the country. You know ?
Why does everyone have to quarantene who comes to Thailand ?

If there are as many people in Thailand already infected as you think, then quarantine facilities will not begin to be able to hold those placed in hospitals as a result of a positive reading. At that point, I imagine expats would go to the back of the line, told to stay home, while priority went to Thais.

I have never believed the diminishing figures that they keep publishing. The virus is exponential especially if the R rate is above 1.

The virus is in the country and they need to jump on it before it is out of control., and they lose face .. yet again !!

Good news! Boris Johnson announced today, that the new strain of Covid 19,  is 30% more deadly. There is also a possibility that the new strain will be unresponsive to vaccines developed thus far. 

 

I watched the Covid update given to the world by Boris twice yesterday and at NO time did he say the variant was 30% more deadly, What he did say was that there is evidence that the variant was more infectious than the original virus and that it MAY BE more deadly.

 

If you and others like you are going to report findings PLEASE get it correct and do it honestly and not to portray your own jaded views.

or..logically.. there is a better chance of the rich dirty Farang paying the hospital fees so the priority will go to those who can pay......
