        • Thailand preparing to import Molnupiravir – “first anti-Covid drug”

          Thai authorities are preparing to import Molnupiravir, which researchers claim is the first oral drug to quickly block the Covid-19 virus.

          Medical Services Department chief Somsak Ankasil said health officials would give the green light to import Molnupiravir if phase 3 trials by its developers, Merck and Ridgeback Therapeutics, are successful.

          Molnupiravir is among several anti-coronavirus drugs currently undergoing phase 2 and 3 trials abroad, with results expected at the end of this month, in October and November.

          The Public Health Ministry is currently in talks with Merck to procure Molnupiravir and with Pfizer to import its Protease Inhibitor. If both drugs are registered after late-stage trials, Thailand will hurry to use them against future outbreaks, said Somsak.

          Phase 3 trial results for Molnupiravir – the first antiviral drug specifically developed to fight Covid-19 – are expected by the end of this month, with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registration to follow in October.

          Thailand expects to register Molnupiravir with the Thai FDA in November.

          If the drug is successful, it will be used in place of favipiravir. Both drugs have the same mechanism of action, which is to stop the virus from entering cells. Patients with mild symptoms will be given 40 tablets of Molnupiravir to take over five days.

          Meanwhile, results from Thai studies on favipiravir, Andrographis paniculata (fah talai jone) and other medications currently being used to fight Covid-19 are expected over the next 1-2 months.: https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/life/40005790

          • Jobless tour guides 'committing suicide, forced to steal'

            Nine tour guides based in Hat Yai have taken their own lives since the pandemic shut down the tourist sector, while others have descended to theft to stay alive, according to an industry spokesman.

            Witthaya Sae Lim, former chairman of the Songkhla professional guides association, said about 600 local guides had been without work since early last year.

            Mr Witthaya was speaking while handing out donated rice to jobless guides at Jee Kong Khlong Pom shrine in downtown Hat Yai on Tuesday.

            He said all of the roughly 600 tour guides based in Hat Yai were unemployed and reliant on handouts of donated rice and dried food.

            Mr Witthaya said donors in Malaysia’s Sarawak state had recently gifted 160 bags of rice, each weighing 5 kilogrammes, to him to distribute among the unemployed guides.

            Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country, nine guides based in Hat Yai had committed suicide since returning to their home provinces, according to Mr Witthaya. Many were from Phuket, Yala’s Betong district and Bangkok.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...orced-to-steal

            • Thailand records 20% infection rate among those tested for COVID in past 40 days

              The Thai Medical Sciences Department has reported a 20% COVID-19 infection rate among people undergoing tests in the past 40 plus days.

              Of 40,007 people tested on September 4th, at 288 of the 375 authorised laboratories across the country, 8,804 tested positive, representing an infection rate of 22%.

              From January 1st to September 4th, 12,575,261 people were tested and 1,026,043 were found to be infected, said the department.

              From August 29th to September 4th, an average of 48,000 people were tested each day and 9,500 people tested positive, representing 19.5% infection rate.

              14,176 new infections have been recorded in Thailand in the past 24 hours and 16,769 have recovered, according to Dr. Chawetsan Namwat, director of the emergency health hazards and diseases division. There were 228 COVID-19 related fatalities today.

              He said that the infection rate in Bangkok and its suburbs is slowing, but the numbers remain high.

              After the easing of lockdown restrictions on September 1st, he said the situation in Bangkok remains under close watch and assessment, with preparations made for the vaccination of about 400,000 students aged from 12 to 17.

              Regarding construction workers, Dr. Chawetsan said more than 61,000 workers in 606 worker dormitory facilities have been vaccinated in a program which will end this Friday, but he warned that supervisors of these facilities must make sure that their workers strictly comply with basic safety measures or they will face charges.

              Throughout August, an average of 20,000 infections were recorded on daily basis, but, in September, the numbers are slowing which, according to Dr. Chawetsan, is a good sign.: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailan...-past-40-days/

              • Nerve disorder listed as 'very rare' side effect of AstraZeneca vaccine

                THE HAGUE: The European Medicines Agency has listed the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause temporary paralysis, as a "very rare" side effect of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

                A causal relationship was "considered at least a reasonable possibility", the EMA said in an update Wednesday after a total of 833 cases of the syndrome had been reported worldwide by July 31, from about 592 million doses of the AstraZeneca "Vaxzevria" shot administered.

                "GBS should therefore be added to the product information as a side effect of Vaxzevria," the Amsterdam-based agency said.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/21...zeneca-vaccine

                  • CCSA shake-up looms

                    The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will continue its role in leading the country's fight to contain the Covid-19 outbreak, although it may later be transformed into a new body under a new disease control law that will replace the state of emergency, the government said on Wednesday.

                    According to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, because the CCSA was established under the Emergency Decree, when the state of emergency is lifted, then the CCSA will technically no longer exist.

                    "However, in practice, the CCSA will continue to function while the government deliberates the new disease control law, although it may have to be transformed into something else after the state of emergency is lifted," he said.

                    Mr Wissanu was responding to questions about the possibility of dissolving the CCSA when the government revokes the state of emergency, which it is said would usher in the next steps of containing the coronavirus outbreak.

                    The government is waiting for a new law that will allow it to declare a state of public health emergency without having to invoke the Emergency Decree, which generally covers all other emergencies, including terrorism and mass unrest, he said.

                    "As the general state of emergency has been used for some time now, [the government] has found that it doesn't exactly fit the public health emergency the country is dealing with now. As such a specific law is required to replace the general state of emergency," he said.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...shake-up-looms

                    • Covid outbreak stymies Thailand's SDG prospects

                      The ongoing spread of Covid-19 has become a major challenge for Thailand in trying to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030, warns the government's planning unit.

                      Danucha Pichayanan, secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), said the Covid-19 outbreaks which have happened since early 2020 pose more risks for Thailand to reach the SDGs by 2030, especially on poverty, hunger eradication, public health and well-being, education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, and peace, justice and strong institutions.

                      The SDGs or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

                      The SDGs were established in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030.

                      The 17 SDGs are zero poverty; zero hunger; good health and well-being; quality education; gender equality; clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic growth; industry, innovation and infrastructure; reducing inequality; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; climate action; life below water; life on land; peace, justice and strong institutions; and partnerships to achieve the goals.

                      The NESDC reported that development of SDGs between 2016-2020, Thailand achieved between 74% and 100% of the goals on zero poverty, quality education, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, and inequality reduction thanks to economic stability, the accelerated development of infrastructure, higher investment on research and development and attempts to reduce inequality.

                      However, the state think tank noted Thailand has reached 50-73% of the goals on hunger eradication, good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, life below water or natural resources, and peace, justice and strong institutions.

                      The NESDC proposed the public and private sectors as well as civic organisations work together to speed up the development, focusing on each small category such as poverty eradication.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/business...-sdg-prospects

                      • Fever, dizziness, nausea common side effects of “Mix & Match” of Sinovac then AZ vaccine shots

                        Fever, headache, dizziness, and nausea are the most common side effects of the “mix and match” vaccine approach of using Sinovac then AstraZeneca shots, according to the Thailand’s Public Health Ministry.

                        The method of using Sinovac as the first dose, followed by an AstraZeneca shot as the second, 3-4 weeks apart, is now Thailand’s main vaccination practice, which helps shorten the gap between two doses of AstraZeneca, now about 3 months, but with similar levels of efficacy, according to the ministry.

                        As of September 8th, China’s Sinovac vaccine accounts for most of the shots administered, at 15.78 million doses, followed by 16.15 million doses of AstraZeneca, 4.6 million doses of Sinopharm and 917,540 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech.

                        For those inoculated with Sinovac, the most common side effects are dizziness (20.82%), nausea (14.14%), headache (13.85%), vomiting (12.86%), fatigue (9.08%), muscle pain (6.64%), rashes (6.14%), loose stools (5.56%), fever (4.60%) and feeling slightly feverish (4.02%).

                        The most common side effects from AstraZeneca are fever (26.52%), headaches (24.98%), dizziness (20.48%), nausea (18.95%), vomiting (18.22%), fatigue (15.22%), muscle pain (14.01%), loose stools (8.92%), feeling slightly feverish (7.35%) and rashes (4.24%).: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/fever-d...vaccine-shots/

                          • Virus scare sees Phi Phi self-isolate

                            Authorities have announced temporary restrictions to limit movement to and from Phi Phi Island in Krabi to curb the spread of Covid-19 there.

                            Access will be limited from Saturday until Sept 18, after the island recorded seven confirmed Covid-19 cases.

                            Two Koh Phi Phi police officers and five migrant workers at a wastewater treatment construction site camp were found infected, while 36 other workers were waiting for test results.

                            Phi Phi Tourist Business Association president Prasert Wongna said the association has informed tourism operators and state agencies across the island about the outbreak.

                            Ao Nang Tambon Administrative Organisation and Moo 7 and 8, administrative officials then ordered restricted movement to and from the island for seven days, starting from tomorrow to disinfect areas and conduct active case finding on the island.

                            Tourists under Phuket Sandbox scheme can still travel to the island via its special boat service, which will also include health workers, rescuers and courier services. Those who need to contact Koh Phi Phi police directly must obtain a permit to do so first, a source said.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...i-self-isolate

                            • CCSA extends controls in Dark Red provinces till Sept 30

                              The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Friday extended Covid-19 restrictions in 29 Dark Red provinces including Bangkok until September 30.

                              The restrictions include the curfew and work-from-home measures. The CCSA urged people in Dark Red provinces not to leave home unnecessarily between 8pm and 4am. It said business and other activities can be conducted as usual except for entertainment businesses. Alcohol consumption in restaurants is still banned.

                              Separate restrictions for the 37 provinces under highest controls and 11 “controlled” provinces will also remain in place until September 30.

                              The CCSA said it has increased the intensity of control and supervision under the Covid-free setting measure and policy for closure of at-risk locations.: https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40005977

                              • Covid insurers plead for patience as delayed-payment complaints soar above 3,000

                                Thailand’s non-life insurance industry has asked customers to be patient over delayed Covid-19 payments, saying insurers are being overwhelmed by claims.

                                Covid insurers plead for patience as delayed-payment complaints soar above 3,000
                                Total Covid claims exceed 9 billion baht this year, according to the Thai General Insurance Association (TGIA), which comprises all 56 non-life insurance companies.

                                “Most of the claims have been made during July and August. We estimate that by the end of September the total claim amount could reach Bt12 billion,” said TGIA president Anon Wangwasu.

                                Insurance claims during the Covid-19 outbreak are about 10 times higher than normal, he said.

                                Insurance companies need to prepare at least Bt3-4 billion to cover Covid-19 related claims, he added.

                                “Some companies are starting to sell their assets, shares and bonds as well as increase their capital to secure enough cash to honour the claims."

                                However, this did not indicate financial vulnerability, as the companies normally retain shares, bonds, assets or other investments that generate higher returns than cash, he added.: https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40005974
