It appears the third wave of Covid-19 in Thailand, with top entertainment venues in the Thong Lor area as its epicentre, is more severe than the previous two rounds. Virologists have detected the UK strain of the virus, which spreads 1.7 times faster than the variants this country has previously coped with. This is alarming.
With the new spike, the total number of cases has surpassed 30,000. There are fears that new cases will soon hit 1,000 a day. Now the outbreak linked to the Bangkok cluster has reached at least 32 provinces, with total new infections at 604 across the country.
