Today (8 January 2021) at the Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) Dr. Opaskarn Kawinpong, MD. Director-General, Department of Disease Control Announcing the situation of Coronavirus 2019, or COVID-19 in Thailand, the number of new infections today, 205, are 131 domestic cases from proactive search in the community, 58, the trend is still on the rise. Even today, the numbers are smaller, but still can’t be underestimated. Also need to prevent personal disease The Ministry of Public Health will expedite the proactive screening and will set up a hospital (hospital), a field to accommodate infected people.
“Since mid-December, there have been 5,604 cases, the highest number of infections still in Samut Sakhon Province, 2,981 cases and another important point is Bangkok, 519 cases, which tend to increase, however, data analyzed for the infected, at the moment, 5,604 patients have died, 7 are currently in the hospital, 2,599 cases are severely affected, 8 people are required to use a ventilator at Sanam Luang Hospital . Only 81 patients with minimal symptoms, also known as Hospitel. The field hospital is essential for disease prevention. Especially the highest and strict control areas are Samut Sakhon, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat, ”said Director-General of the Department of Disease Control.
Dr. Opas said that those who have been infected without symptoms after 8-10 days will not infect others. Which is in accordance with the treatment standard set by the Department of Medical Services, however, the beginning of the outbreak since mid-December started from Samut Sakhon Province and spread to 57 provinces, with the first 10 provinces being Samut Sakhon, Chonburi, Rayong, Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Pathum Thani and Ang Thong, the situation distributed in 57 provinces, the Ministry of Public Health will try to cut the balance every 2 weeks, such as red in the provinces, the area found more than 50 patients, green is the province with a reported case but well controlled without additional infections. During the past 7 days, for example, Big Bike, Krabi, caused by infection from a traveler from Samut Sakhon Province to a Koh Lanta party. And there are hundreds of people in contact But can follow up quickly It controls disease well and does not spread. Causing the provincial situation to reduce the violence
Dr. Opas said another issue that has been questioned since Samut Sakhon Province is the beginning of the outbreak in this round. In some communities, such as the shrimp central market, almost 40 percent of the infected were found. After that, foreign workers were monitored in various provinces. Nationwide and proactive investigation Found that the first health zone in the northern region has tested more than a thousand cases There were 3 infected cases, while the 11th and 12th health districts, more than 5,000 upper and lower provinces in the upper and lower provinces, found 1 infected, so it can be seen that most of the infected migrant workers are still in Samut Sakhon Province. And the central region In the Northeast, North, and South of more than 20,000 cases, very few cases were found. However, surveillance systems have to be done continuously to detect outbreaks as quickly as possible.
“The situation is still in the process of meeting additional patients, but can still be controlled. Many provinces are well controlled. Both searching for patients Completely monitor the contact and get cooperation from the people in wearing masks, spacing, reducing unnecessary activities, reducing travel, allowing most provinces to control the situation well. If this continues, believe that later this month We should be able to see the numbers we want to see: the number of people infected with a significant decrease, ”said Opas, MD.
