Thailand began its mass Covid vaccination program Monday, following criticism of delays and concerns over health authorities relying on AstraZeneca shots produced by a company owned by the country’s king.
The Southeast Asian nation is battling a third coronavirus wave with the highest number of daily cases and deaths reported since the start of the pandemic, raising public concerns of adequate access to vaccines.
On Tuesday, Thailand reported 2,662 new Covid-19 cases and 28 deaths, according to its Covid-19 task force (CCSA).
The VVIP clientele were whisked to the VVIP rooms, with their padded walls and plush sofas.
Thai government bigwigs partied at Krystal - one of its mottoes is the luxury entertainment of night light - as did diplomats, army officers and business owners. For much of the pandemic, coronavirus restrictions did not stop the fun.
But this spring, as go-go dancers shimmied, Krystal and another neighbourhood nightclub, Emerald, turned into the epicentre of what is now Thailand s biggest and deadliest coronavirus surge, according to health ministry officials.
Scores of people linked to the clubs have tested positive, including an ambassador and a government minister. (The minister s staff said that he was infected by an aide who frequented Krystal.) Police officers and women who worked at the clubs have been infected, too.
