Bangkok, Jan 12 (EFE/EPA).- Exactly one year ago, on 12 January 2020, the Thai authorities detected the first case of COVID-19, when the world still had no idea of the devastating pandemic it would become.To date, Thailand has a reported 10,547 infections, including 67 fatalities, numbers way below the thousands daily cases in Europe and US. Following months of almost no reported infections, Thailand relaxed its controls until it was hit with a second wave in December 2020, which originated in a shrimp market in Samut Sakhon province. Despite the fact that the second wave almost already doubled the number of cases, the daily infections have already decreased to between 200-300, and the government is confident it will be able to bring it under control as it did before.
