At 11:30 am on December 29, 2020, at a press conference on the COVID-19 situation, Dr. Taweesil Wissanu Yothin, spokesperson for the COVID-19 Situation Management Center (FRC), said that Thailand has detected a COVID-19 infection. -19 out of 155 new cases are proactive in searching for 11 foreign workers, 10 quarantine facilities and 134 infected in the country. Separated with 12 cases from Samut Sakhon province, 2 in Rayong province, with domestic infections in entertainment venues, community places, occupational hazards, and in contact with 17 previous cases and under investigation in Bangkok, 3 cases, Nakhon Pathom 5 1 case from Lampang, 56 cases from Rayong, 28 cases from Chonburi, 3 cases from Chanthaburi and 7 from Samut Prakan, with the currently infected cases spread to 45 provinces.

Dr. Taweesil said that The Disease Control Department of the Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) has created a new outbreak scene in 3 formats from December 19, 2020 to January 14, 2021, including: 1. Red case No When taking Either way, the infected person will have an upside down hood. There will be an increasing number of infected people from 1,000-2,000 per day and until January 14, 2021 there will be 18,000 new cases of infection per day 2. Yellow has moderate measures. There will be 8,000 new infections per day and 3. Green if intensive measures are taken What Thais used to do Is wear a mask Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Or alcohol gel There are less than 1,000 new cases of infection per day.

“The trend of new cases of infection continues to increase hundreds or hundreds percent. Still on the yellow line Which is very worrying If nothing is done, the graph will rise 45 degrees, if it accumulates until the end of January 2021, there will be thousands of main sick. And tens of thousands of people, so a new wave of outbreaks does not want to see the red line in mid-January. So if people understand and work together today, the number of new cases in Thailand will not be as great as abroad, ”said Thaweesilp, MD.

Dr. Thaweesil said the situation of the epidemic in the country. The number of people infected with the infection continues to increase from 2 types: 1. Person-to-person infection is divided into 2 types, knowing that they have entered the risk area. / Activities that put at risk or do not know and do not care that they come into contact or near infected people AND 2. Cluster infection Which is caused by participating in various activities such as activities that have been carried out correctly. Any party, gathering, or stealthy activity, such as gambling and conviviality.

A spokesperson for the RCC said that measures should be taken to prevent and manage. Brought to control The 4 risk zones were also used as more controlled areas. Control area Maximum monitoring area AND monitoring area But the most important thing is conversion into action. In which the Minister of the Interior (TU) had a meeting of the PAD. And ordered the governor of each province As authorized by the Emergency Decree and the Communicable Diseases Law to clearly divide the different areas within the province. Going down to the district and sub-district levels To be completed before December 30, by the BEC, BEC, BEC and the communicable disease committees of each province will evaluate the level of the situation area AND the provincial governor will announce to the public

For example, Samut Sakhon province has 3 districts as most controlled areas. The outer area is the control area. Rayong province announced that the city is the zone of maximum control. That if it is declared as the most controlled area of ​​the province It will cause the surrounding provinces to become a controlled area. This may not be very fair, therefore the level of risk should be assessed at the district level as possible. To make the surrounding districts controlled areas Farther away is the highest surveillance area. A greater distance will be a surveillance area. And if the sub-alley is a kind of honeycomb down to the sub-district level with the SAO OR at the house level with volunteers, it will allow people to have freedom and flexibility in their daily life.

Anyone who knows the clues to the mixing of illegal mobs that are at risk of spreading the disease should immediately notify the authorities. And people who have traveled to an infected area are asked to self-quarantine. And avoid touching other people for 14 days. If there are abnormal symptoms, go to the hospital, get a checkup, and clean the chart.

“It asks for the cooperation of the people. Emphasize the strict implementation of all measures to leave the province. It will take from now 7 days, including during the New Year season. Highlight the importance of addiction to COVID-19. And evaluate again It is under the condition of disease control. Having the resources to support the State, the public sector and the private sector to cooperate fully, they will continue to use measures to divide the four areas. Private is to leave In a way that the government them says to act, but the private sector does not Must review all measures If all parties cooperate well There will be no change in the area requirements And everyone will have the freedom to live according to the specified area level Most importantly everyone must cooperate, ”Thaweesilp said.
