Border patrols at Golok River beefed up after Malaysia lockdown

Security has been tightened on the natural border with Malaysia, where a 14-day lockdown has sparked fears that more Thai migrant workers will try to sneak back into Thailand.

Patrols were beefed along 91 kilometres of the Golok River, which marks the border in Narathiwat province, after Malaysia imposed the June 1-14 lockdown. The move comes after four Thai migrant workers were arrested trying to cross the river into Narathiwat’s Su-ngai Golok district. The four workers told Thai officials they had been out of work for two months before Malaysia’s lockdown, which ended their hope of finding employment. They then decided to return to Thailand via an illegal route to evade the mandatory two-week quarantine.

Nine villages in Narathiwat’s Koh Sathon and Tak Bai districts were locked down at the end of May after Thai workers returning from Malaysia tested positive with the South African variant of coronavirus.

Health officials report the outbreak situation has improved in Koh Sathon, and some villages would be allowed to reopen on June 9 if no more infections are found.

Officials say the rate of vaccination registration in Narathiwat has also improved after early hesitancy on the part of many residents.

Chulabhorn Royal Academy to halt first jabs, citing lack of vaccine from govt

Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA) has announced it will stop administering first doses of Covid-19 vaccine to recipients from June 14, as it had not been allocated either AstraZeneca or Sinovac jabs by the government.

However, CRA said those who have an appointment for their second dose would get their jab as scheduled.

The academy urged those at high risk of infection and severe symptoms to register with a central vaccination centre as soon as possible to reduce the spread of the disease.

CRA announced last week that it would procure imports of alternative vaccine until Thailand had sufficient doses to inoculate the population.

Pre-booked jabs only at Bang Sue Station, no walk-ins

The vaccination centre at Bang Sue Grand Station in Bangkok will open on Monday to people who have registered for a jab. No walk-in service will be available at the station, according to the Department of Medical Services (DMS).

Transport employees will be vaccinated at the station up until Sunday.

From Monday, up to 10,000 jabs per day will be administered to members of the public in two groups: 5,000 employees of organisations that have registered via public health officials, and 5,000 people who have registered via DTAC, AIS, TrueMove, and National Telecommunications mobile services.

The vaccination drive at the station is being led by the Institute of Dermatology and will run from June 7 to August 31, said DMS director-general Somsak Akksilp. The objective is to reduce congestion in Bangkok hospitals that provide vaccination services. A free air-conditioned shuttle bus service will run from three locations – Victory Monument, Bang Pho, and Central Ladprao – to the station from Monday.

The vaccination unit at Bangkok’s Bang Sue Grand Station has inoculated 100,747 people from the transport sector since May 24, while 19,000 people were lined up for their jab on Thursday.

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the National Institute of Dermatology has been sending some 400 personnel, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and support team members, to the station daily from 9am to 8pm.

“Delivering Covid-19 vaccines is an important mission for the country and the Public Health Ministry because nobody is safe at the moment. We know that all medical personnel have to work hard and I want to thank everybody who is making sacrifices to ensure people’s safety,” he said.

Anutin visited the station on Thursday with Dr Somsak Ankasil, director-general of the Medical Department.

Suvarnabhumi tops ranking of global airports threatened by rising sea level

Thailands Suvarnabhumi has a higher risk of flooding from rising sea levels than any other major airport in the world, according to new research.

The research on 14,000 airports was conducted by Aaron N Yesudian and Richard Dawson of Newcastle University in the UK and published in Climate Risk Management Volume 31 last month.

The risk analysis combines information about the location of airports, their exposure to storm surges and current and future sea levels, their connectivity and aircraft traffic (pre-Covid-19), and their current standard of flood protection.

The research showed that of over 14,000 airports worldwide, more than 350 could face flooding by the end of the century – even if the world were to meet the goals of the Paris climate agreement. And if climate change continues unchecked, almost 600 airports will be at risk.

The top 10 airports at risk of flooding are:

1. Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand

2. Wenzhou Longwan International Airport, China

3. Sege Airport, Solomon Islands

4. Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport, China

5. Changzhou Benniu Airport, China

6. Ramata Airport, Solomon Islands

7. Suavanao Airport, Solomon Islands

8. Bosaso Airport, Somalia

9. Fera/Maringe Airport, Solomon Islands

10. Rennell/Tingoa Airport, Solomon Islands

Don Mueang Airport was ranked 71st.

Family of Pathum Thani man who died five days after inoculation compensated THB400,000

The National Health Security Office (NHSO) on Wednesday approved compensation of THB400,000 for a 50-year-old Phatum Thani man who died five days after receiving a dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

“The family of the deceased was compensated THB400,000, which is the maximum rate in case of death or total disability, said Chalor Santiwarangkhana, director of NHSO Region 4 office. He added that eight other vaccine recipients under Region 4 – Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Saraburi, Ayutthaya, Lop Buri, Sing Buri, Ang Thong and Nakhon Nayok – received a total of THB69,000 compensation for adverse reactions.

NHSO criteria for compensation are as follows:

– Maximum THB400,000 for death or total disability

– Maximum THB240,000 for loss of an organ or disability

– Maximum THB100,000 for continuous injury or sickness

Affected recipients or their family members can file a case at public hospitals, provincial public health offices or NHSO branch offices nationwide. Each case takes up to five days of consideration.

“The deceased was a 50-year-old man residing in Pathum Thani. He reportedly had trouble breathing after receiving Covid-19 vaccine and died five days later,” said Chalor. “NHSO agreed to pay compensation of THB400,000 to the man’s family to alleviate their financial burdens as the deceased was the sole earner for the family.”

On Tuesday, NHSO secretary-general Jadet Thammathat-Aree said that compensation was considered preliminary aid during emergency situations, when patients or family members can file cases immediately without an autopsy or medical investigation results.

“Once the compensation is paid it will not be recalled, even if later investigation reveals that the death/injuries are not directly related to the vaccine,” said Jadet.

A news source added that NHSO’s Region 1 office will on Friday give a verdict on compensation for the family of a 46-year-old village headman in Phrae who died on May 18, less than 28 hours after being vaccinated.

“Khlong Manao is one of Bangkok’s slums where locals are suffering due to lockdown measures and economic fallout of the outbreak,” said a Nation TV reporter. “About 70 per cent of the community members are labourers, who have lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet.”
