Whilst migrant dormitories and parts of the seafood markets in Samut Sakhon remain either in complete lockdown or as restricted areas, and the affected gambling dens in Rayong have magically disappeared, the focus of the current Covid outbreak has now turned to Pathum Thani... just north of Bangkok and probably better known as the province that hosts the Buddhist Dhammakaya cult and its famous flying saucer-shaped temple.

Now the Pathum Thani Provincial Governor has ordered the lock down of two markets and nine commercial buildings until February 25. Why? Well 221 people have now been found to be infected with Covid-19 since last Tuesday, February 9. The 2 markets are the Suchart and Pornpat markets.

Wet markets and adjacent commercial buildings in Tanya Buri, just north of Don Muang Airport, are now under complete lockdown… people can’t enter or leave the areas.

All public gatherings and activities are banned.

Everyone living inside the lockdown zones are being provided with food for the 9 day lockdown.

The Bureau of the Royal Household has sent 4 fully equipped test vehicles to help in the screening of the people inside the lock down zone. At this stage, over 2,000 people have been tested. A 600-bed field hospital is now set up to cope with any cases.

Anyone who has visited the markets between February 9 and 13 have been asked to monitor their health.

Meanwhile, the CCSA is considering a longer mandatory quarantine for returnees arriving from the African continent - 21 days- in a bid to stem the spread of the faster-spreading Covid-19 variant that was first detected in South Africa. Named “B1351" is known to spread more quickly.

The so-called South African mutation was first detected in Thailand in a 41 year old infected Thai who arrived back in Thailand after visiting Tanzania for business. The man returned to Thailand on January 29 and entered state quarantine, but it wasn't until February 12 that health officials determined the man was infected with the mutated variant of the coronavirus.

The B1351 variant was first detected in South Africa in October last year. Since then it has been found in more than 30 countries.
