The government on Thursday reported three new coronavirus cases, all Thais, bringing the total in Thailand to 2,992. No additional deaths were reported, leaving the accumulated toll at 55.
Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said one new case was a Thai housewife aged 59 in the southern border province of Yala. She was diagnosed after a pre-emptive test and found to have been in close contact with a previous patient who returned from Malaysia. She had no symptoms.
The two other new cases were Thai men, workers aged 46 and 51, who returned from Kazakhstan last Saturday and were brought to quarantine right away. They boarded a plane that carried 55 passengers and all the other returnees were already quarantined, Dr Taweesilp said.
The accumulated death toll remained unchanged at 55. Over the past 24 hours, 11 more patients were discharged from hospitals, raising the total number of recovery cases to 2,772.
Dr Taweesilp said that the number of provinces free of new Covid-19 cases over the past 28 days has now risen to 39. New entries included Chiang Mai, Chaiyaphum, Lampang, Phitsanulok and Trang.
The spokesman said that global Covid-19 cases numbered 3.82 million with 265,076 deaths. The United States had the most cases at 1.26 million, the most deaths at 74,799 and the most daily new cases at 25,459.

Thai prototype vaccine passes test with flying colours

Thailand has made progress in developing a vaccine for Covid-19 after laboratory trials of a prototype proved successful, medical authorities announced on Tuesday (May 6).
Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, director-general of the Department of Medical Sciences under the Health Ministry, told a press conference that joint research being conducted by Chulalongkorn, Siriraj and Ramathibodi hospitals along with private and state agencies had made a breakthrough.
Opas reported that a research team led by Prof Dr Kiat Ruxrungtham, vice-president for Research and Innovation at Chulalongkorn University, injected laboratory mice with a prototype DNA vaccine and then tested their blood to check whether the mice had developed antibodies.
Test results from the Department of Medical Sciences found that the mice developed a satisfactory level of antibodies. The next step will be to test the prototype vaccine on humans to check whether the immune response is on a similar level to mice.
"This is a small but nevertheless successful step,” said Dr Opas.
“Even though vaccine development in Thailand has not advanced as fast as in countries such as China, hopefully Thai scientists will develop a Covid-19 vaccine that will stand the test of time."

A hundred or so elephants are having to trudge some 150 kilometres back to their natural habitat now that there are no tourists to watch them perform and the mahouts have run out of money to feed them.
Mahouts in Chiang Mai said the elephants are being led to Mae Chaem district, where local communities can help look after them, now that most elephant shows in the province have been temporarily closed due to the pandemic.

Man arrested for allegedly killing wife, hiding body in cement sewage pipe

A bricklayer in Nakhon Phanom province has been arrested for allegedly murdering his wife and hiding her body.
Pol Colonel Kaweesak Sukbang, chief of Phonsawan Police Station in Nakhon Phanom’s Phonsawan district, on Thursday (May 7) announced the arrest of Phis Jandaprasit, 53,
“The suspect confessed that on Wednesday [May 6] he had a fight with his wife, Boonlert, 49, and hit her on the head with a brick several times,” said Kaweesak. “The suspect then moved the body and dumped it in a concrete sewage pipe, located about 100 metres from his house. He also plastered cement over the pipe to conceal the body and cleaned traces of the deceased’s blood in the area with water.”
Boonlert’s daughter and relatives later found her body when they were searching the neighbourhood for clues when they could not find the deceased. They alerted police who then tracked down Phis as the prime suspect and arrested him on Thursday morning.
“From preliminary investigation, it is evident that the suspect acted alone,” said Kaweesak. “The motive for the murder is jealousy, as the suspect found out that his wife was having an affair. He confessed to all the charges.”

Some 10,000 people visited the Chatuchak Weekend Market on its reopening on Saturday (May 9),
Wanlaya Wattanarat, deputy permanent secretary of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), said.
She said the reopening of the market from 5am to 6pm had gone well as none of the visitors had fever or temperature higher than 37.5 degrees Celsius at the screening points, while traders and people cooperated and complied with safety measures.
Some 20 per cent of the total number of stores were open, or about 2,000 stores, because some shopowners are still in other provinces. She expected more traders and shoppers to turn up on Sunday.
