Because it reduces exposure, reduces travel, meets unnecessarily, so if considering the number of infected people with severe symptoms or pneumonia The overall trend by province has also decreased. But in the southern part of the four provinces, it may not be clear. There is a swing at home and Pathum Thani province is the same. There is no clear reduction at the level of 119-130 cases, so it is an area that needs to be monitored. While the overall intubation has decreased, but the four southern provinces are still not clear, between 43-44 and Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani provinces. The graph is still red, the rest is green.

When asked if there were any factors that might see the month numbers Oct. Up again, Dr. Chawatsan said that from seeing the patient and having an investigation of the disease, it is not clear where the infection came from.
