The re-categorized controlled zone comprising ‘Maximum and Strict Controlled Areas (Dark Red Zone), the Maximum Controlled Areas (Red Zone) and Controlled Areas (Orange Zone).
Mask wearing will now be mandatory in all public areas nationwide.
The CCSA has approved the extension of the quarantine period to 14 days for all international travellers regardless of their nationalities or vaccination status starting May 1.
Banned dining in restaurants in Bangkok and 5 other provinces.
Additional measures in the 6 provinces include
The closures of gyms and indoor sports facilities; outdoor sports facilities can remain open until 21:00 hrs and sporting events can be held without spectators.
Shopping malls and convenience stores can open until 21:00 hrs. Gatherings of over 20 people over are not allowed.
The government has advised companies to implement “Work from Home” policy for their staff for 14 more days to curb spreading of coronavirus infections.
The government said it would launch new economic remedy measures to help low income citizens to help them pull through the outbreak crisis.
Despite the lower number of infections seen yesterday, most high-end hospitals are now recording 100 per cent occupancy with the likes of Bumrungrad Hospital having its 580 beds fully occupied and so is its ‘Hospitel’ which it has with Anantara Riverside.
Today’s numbers are out
15 new deaths 1,583 new infections
Thailand recorded 1,871 new cases of Covid-19 and 10 more deaths in the last 24 hours, taking up total infections of 63,570 and 188 fatalities.
CCSA yesterday said the Covid-19 outbreak in Thailand has passed its peak and that ‘the peak was on April 24 and it is stabilizing downwards.’
At least 50 people in a Klong Toey community in central Bangkok have been confirmed as being infected with the Covid-19 virus.
Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang announced on his Facebook page that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and Institute for Urban Disease Control and Prevention had used an express analysis mobile unit to test 925 residents in the community on Tuesday.
The district office and Erawan Medical Centre have been ordered to take the infected to field hospitals as quickly as possible. The BMA and institute are continuing to proactively search for Covid-positive people.
Reports have emerged that Thailand is set to send another air force aircraft to India this weekend to pick up more Thais who have been infected with the virus and need to be repatriated as there are no hospital beds available in India to care for those who are infected.
The Royal Thai Air Force had sent an Airbus to pick up the Defense Attache to New Delhi last weekend after he was infected with the virus and could not find hospital beds to care for him and his family. For all those who thought you were safe in Thailand or in your lockdowns at home… well think again This was the 1st statement from the Covid-19 command center to the people (in English)
. It was later corrected to include the word ‘vaccine’ at the end.
Prosecutors yesterday announced decision to indict “Sia Po” Po-arnon and 20 associates on charges of organising online gambling and money laundering.
Holidays until May 4th
Thailand is set for long-weekend holidays on May 3rd which is substitution for National Labour Day and Coronation Day on May 4th. Next working day is going to be May 5th.
Economic News
The economic impact of the 3rd wave of the outbreak seems to be more realistic than previously predicted.
The implementation of more restrictions in the 6 so called ‘deep red’ zone is likely to have a major economic impact as these provinces are big part of the overall economy.
This was evident by the fact that the Fiscal Policy Office came out to say that it was lowering the gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for 2021 to 2.3 per cent from 2.8 per cent earlier.
Economic activities and international travel would see a negative impact the FPO said, while slashing the predicted number of foreign tourists to 2 million from the earlier 5 million.
According to the monthly economic reports, Thailand saw 7,649 and 5,741 foreign tourists in January and February, respectively, bringing the total to 20,127 in the first quarter.
In January, the FPO had revised down its forecast for economic growth over 2021, from an earlier 4.5-per cent prediction in October, to 2.8 per cent, due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in December.
Analysts feel that the next one to follow would be the Bank of Thailand which currently has the GDP forecast set at 3 per cent based on the fact that the BoT was expecting up to 3 million foreign tourists coming into Thailand during 2021 but that is unlikely to happen after the 3rd wave.
A lockdown means that the consumption is likely to fall drastically and although there is no lockdown, most people are already in a lockdown phase.
The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) has confirmed plans to push ahead with the vaccine import plan for companies which want to distribute them to employees.
The announcement came after FTI chairman Supant Mongkolsuthree announced that the private sector has been granted permission by the government to import Covid-19 vaccines.
The FTI said it will now coordinate with the private sector, including private hospital operators, to import vaccines, pointing that companies affiliated with FTI are willing to buy vaccines for their employees.
Companies seeking vaccines for their own employees can register their requirements at www.fti.or.th.
Meanwhile, the Thai Chamber of Commerce (TCC) accepted that it might be too late for the private sector to procure vaccine supplies amid intense global demand.
TCC chairman Sanan Angubolkul warned that obtaining vaccines at this time amid escalation of infections around the world may be difficult and that the private body may have to wait in a long queue when many countries are scrambling for them.
He even said it could be next year when the private sector receives vaccines, which is too late to achieve our target to have 70 per cent of the population vaccinated within this year.
Thai Airways International Plc (THAI)’s employees launched a signature campaign via the online petition site www.change.org to support Peeraphan Saleeratwipak to serve as a member of the airline’s business rehabilitation executive committee.
THAI’s union president Nares Peung-yaem announced that the union has gathered 1,267 signatures on the online petition campaign to support Peeraphan to sit on the rehab board and will submit a letter to Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and 3 major creditors of the airline on May 3.
Rumours have swirled that a major capital group that has close ties with the Airport of Thailand (AOT) and the Bhumjai Thai Party is planning to form a new national airline if Thai Airways International Plc (THAI)’s business rehabilitation plans fails to get the greenlight.
A source with the Finance Ministry believed that financial woes facing THAI is approaching a dead-end. The airline’s liquidity would likely run out in July. Without any bridge loans to help boost its liquidity, THAI will soon be out of operation amid conflicts between the Finance Ministry and Transport Ministry. This came after the airline’s rehab committee’s push for the government to return the state enterprise’s status to the airline came under opposition from the Transport Ministry.
The state enterprise status will help the carrier to obtain around 50 billion baht in loans from financial institutions, with the Finance Ministry acting as loan guarantor. Without borrowing to boost liquidity and its status as the national airline and a state enterprise, THAI will face bankruptcy. This prospect is favoured by the Transport Ministry as it is believed to plan to nominate a new national airline.
PROEN Corp (PROEN) began its 1st day of initial public offering (IPO) trading, with the share price hitting the ceiling with a 200 per cent gain.
PROEN’s share price reached the ceiling at 9.75 baht when the market opened, up 6.50 baht or 200 per cent.
PROEN’s share price closed 8.35 baht, up 5.10 baht or 156.92 per cent, from the IPO price of 3.25 baht, in trade worth 4.928 billion baht on the 1st day of trading on the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) yesterday.
Chief Executive Officer Kittipan Sri-bua-iam said money raised from this IPO will be used to fund the construction of a new information centre and office building, as circulating capital and repay loans.
SET-listed Siam Cement Group (SCG), Thailand's largest cement maker, expects to complete its feasibility study on an initial public offering plan for its SCG Chemicals unit and restructuring in 2022.
"The chemical business has good potential because of high demand in Thailand and Asean and a shift in trend towards green chemicals and the food packaging business caused by the pandemic," said SCG president and chief executive Roongrote Rangsiyopash.
The company saw its revenue in the first quarter increase by 15 per cent to 122 billion baht and profit soar by 114 per cent to 14.91 billion baht, driven by the chemical business. Higher sales were also attributed to the completion of Map Ta Phut Olefins Co (MOC) and turnaround maintenance in the fourth quarter of last year, the start of its capacity debottlenecking project, and healthy global demand and higher equity income.
Banpu Power (BPP), the power generation arm of non-oil energy conglomerate Banpu, expects to close a deal to build gas-fired power plants in the US by the second or third quarter.
Gas-fired power plants in the US have high business potential because they can easily link with a network of gas pipelines that expand across the country, said BPP chief executive Kirana Limpaphayom.
The new assets are expected to have a capacity of more than 1,000 megawatts [MW]. BPP aims to share a stake of around 20-25% in the gas fired power plants.
The Thai General Insurance Association (TGIA) expects accumulated value of claims for Covid-19 insurance to reach 1 billion baht.
TGIA President Anon Vangvasu said TGIA is currently assessing the value of claims for Covid-19 insurance due to a rapid rise in cumulative numbers of infected patients.
TGIA assessed that people with Covid insurance policies will account for 20 per cent of total numbers of infected patients, an alarming percentage, up from 10-15 per cent in the 1st quarter of this year.
TGIA predicted that if Thailand’s cumulative infections reach 100,000-200,000, from 63,570 (as of April 29, 2021), claims for Covid-19 insurance will likely hit 1 billion, from 200 million at present.
Political News
Seven pro-democracy activists’ bail requests have again been rejected by the Criminal Court.
The Criminal Court yesterday denied bail for 7 activists detained on royal defamation charges under Section 112, one of whom is Parit “Penguine” Chiwarak, whose health is on the decline due to his hunger strike, according to Parit’s lawyer.
Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR)’s lawyers travelled to the Criminal Court yesterday to request bail again for Parit, Panusaya Sithijirawattanakul, Anon Nampa, Chukiat Sangwong, and Parinya Cheewinkulpatom, who are detained pending trial on royal defamation charges under Section 112.
Lawyer Kritsadang Nutcharat said the court said one of the key reasons for requesting bail is concern over the spread of Covid-19 in prisons because the court is concerned that the virus will spread among court officials. He also mentioned that the court previously granted bail for activists Jatupat Boonpattaraksa and Somyot Pruksakasemsuk.
Meanwhile, Department deputy director-general Thawatchai Chaiwat has come out to deny that Parit’s condition has worsened and social media reports that he had “excreted blood and flesh”.
Parit’s mother Sureerat Chiwarak told reporters after she filed the bail request for her son that his health has worsened. She learned about his condition from what Parit said and Parit knows his own condition best.
She also said that she does not want him to be treated at the Medical Correctional Institution, where many inmates with Covid-19 are being treated. She would like her son released so she can care for him herself, and asked how the authorities will take responsibility if anything happens to him.
“I will fight to the very end. I will not lose my son,” Sureerat said.
Turmoil erupted outside the Criminal Court yesterday between a crowd gathered in front of the Criminal Court building to wait for the decision on the activists’ bail request and riot police.
The crowd waited in front of the court building throughout the afternoon.
Student activist Benja Apan and a group of other students submitted an open letter demanding the release of detained activists, signed by over 10,000 people.
Benja announced to the crowd that the court has postponed the decision on the bail requests to today morning and that the hearing will be held online. The student activist called on the court to grant bail to the detained activists and release them, because they have not yet been declared guilty and should have their humanity returned to them.
She then scattered pieces of paper printed with the names of 11,035 people who signed the letter on the steps to the court building.
The United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration (UFTD) afterwards announced that the activities have ended for the day and for people to return today.
United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) chair Jatuporn Prompan and key leaders of the Samakkhi Prachachon group plans to launch an online public forum during May 1-2 focusing on ousting Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.
Several scholars and opposition politicians such as Seri Ruam Thai Party led by Pol Gen Sereepisuth Temiyavet, Prachachat Party leader, Wan Muhammad Nor Matha, leader of the Prachachat Party, Pheu Thai Party MP Cholanan Srikaew, Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, etc.
The forum will address problems with the “Prayut administration system” that rules Thailand for more than 7 years as well as assess rifts inside the coalition government on the prospects that the Democrats and Bhumjai Thai Party would likely to remove as the government’s key coalition members following the
transfer of powers to Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha by equipping him with 31 items of legislation.
The red shirt leader expects Bhumjai Thai to succumb to mounting pressure from the “Mor Mai Thon” petition. He ruled that the 2 major coalition parties would likely be ousted from the coalition government before a dissolution of the House.
Following heavy criticism from key members of the coalition parties like Democrat Party leader Jurin Laksanawisit, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is reported to rescind the order on the allocation of cabinet ministers from various coalition parties to supervise provinces.
A source from Government House cited the escalation of Covid-19, preventing elected members of the parliament from travelling to provinces as the reason the scrapping of the Prime Minister’s order.
However, the move is widely seen as an attempt to ease tension between the Democrats and the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) after Deputy Agriculture Minister Thamanat Prompow had been assigned to run the campaign in areas regarded in the Democrats’ political strongholds in the south.
Thamanat himself came out to deny such a rampant speculation that the PPRP is trying to make inroads into the Democrats’ turf. He did not perceive the allocation of ministers under the Prime Minister’s order as the issue to stem conflict with the coalition partners, defending Gen Prayut as the person who holds powers to do so.
Thamanat said he had not been in talks with anyone from the Democrats but Deputy Interior Minister Niphon Bunyamanee over the matter.
For those looking to read on what is happening in the Thai political landscape and will the Prayut Chan-o-cha (nickname – Too) government survive or not can get a copy of the Matichon Weekly that comes out today.
In the issue headlined – TooTanic (a pun on Prayut’s nickname) the highly acclaimed weekly talks about the future of the sinking ship lead by Prayut.
