BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand plans to test more than 10,000 people after a record daily surge in coronavirus cases to over 500, most of which were among migrant workers linked to a shrimp market near the capital, an official said on Sunday (Dec 20).

By Wednesday, the authorities aim to conduct 10,300 tests in the south-west province of Samut Sakhon, where the outbreak appeared, and such nearby provinces as Samut Songkhram and Nakhon Pathom, Mr Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for Thailand's Covid-19 task force, told a news conference.

"Active case findings will continue in several provinces, actually across the country," he said. Thailand, the first country outside China to report coronavirus infections, has largely kept the outbreak under control, with 4,907 cases and 60 deaths.

On Sunday, Thailand confirmed 576 new infections, including 516 migrant worker cases announced locally the day before.

The new cases include 19 locally transmitted cases in Bangkok and in Samut Sakhon province, where the 516 infections were also found.

All of them were linked to the shrimp market in Samut Sakhon.
 
Before this latest outbreak, I don't really believe the low numbers given by the Prayut Govt. This latest outbreak is probably the tip of the iceberg.
 
The numbers don't really matter because very few are actually sick.
