Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

[hhinner]

The information provided about the new numbers is lacking detail. So really, the increase in numbers could be anything. It could be from those travelling here last weekend, or a cluster based on a 7/11 somewhere, or a series of seemingly unconnected events, with individuals attending hospital because they are not well.

More detailed information would be helpful.

Don't think we're given any background on local cases any more.

Just on deaths....

There's probably more detail on the Hua Hin and provincial Facebook pages than you would ever want. It's in Thai of course so it might take a while to wade through it on a daily basis. Want to know the details about the 4th person to die in the province? It's on the HH page. Want to read the timelines of all the people diagnosed with the virus? Look on the PKK FB site. Want to see pics of "decontaminating" businesses visited by patients? Look on FB.

The Google maps overlay from way back is still updated every day.

- Factory infections in Prachuap -

Residents of Prachuap Khiri Khan's Hua Hin district are calling on authorities to temporarily close a canned pineapple factory after 11 Myanmar workers were found infected with the virus.

Panya Konya, a village head in tambon Hin Lek Fai, said the community wants the factory closed for five days for disinfection and Covid-19 tests.

He said the factory's operations are continuing as usual, which is upsetting the community.

"Local officials should consider deep cleaning of the factory and its operations should be suspended for five days. All the factory workers should also be tested," the village head said.

Mr Panya said the infected workers have been admitted to Hua Hin Hospital.

Suriya Khuharat, chief of the provincial public health office, said on Thursday the vaccination campaign is ready to roll with 18 venues designated as Covid-19 vaccine clinics.

He said the inoculation programme for people aged 60 and over and those with underlying health conditions is scheduled from June 7-11. Those who receive their jabs will have to stay for 30 minutes for observation.

The provincial public health office on Thursday reported 22 new Covid-9 cases, raising the total to 1,140. Of 279 patients being treated, 13 are severe cases and 18 are moderate cases.

I guess that provides the reason for yesterday's spike.

More than 200 people are awaiting the results of COVID-19 tests following an outbreak of infections at a pineapple processing factory in Hua Hin.

On Thursday, health officials reported that eleven migrants from Myanmar who are employed at the factory tested positive for the virus and are currently being treated in Hua Hin hospital.

However, locals fear that the number of infections could spread as a large community of migrant workers live close to those who have tested positive for the virus, many of whom work at other factories throughout the province.

On Friday, health officials began disinfecting the homes of those infected, while the factory, which is located on the bypass road, has now been sealed off.

A total of 225 people have been tested and are awaiting results, health officials said.

An investigation into how those who have tested positive became infected is ongoing.

It's reported that 22 more workers were tested positive yesterday. That would mean that outside of the factory, HH has only ONE new infection!

Here is the timeline for patient 1140 in PKK, one of the workers at the factory. It looks like even though she had a fever and chills, and muscular aches that the hospital didn't test for Covid on her first visit.

Google translation so not entirely correct in some places.

I'm just reading that they've found a load more at the pineapple plant. The report on the official Covid page says 112 persons, but I'm not sure if that is the cumulative figure or just today.

You can imagine them living 10 to a room so the perfect breeding ground for this virus - let’s hope they ring fence the entire workforce until they get them tested.

Here is some information I found for Cha Am, but it's in Thai.

I come under Cha Am, so assuming my wife can translate for me, it will be very useful

Yes. I think we'll see at least +112 in today's figures.
