In Singapore, 82% of the population has been vaccinated with the new coronavirus, which is a high level worldwide, and the government has been easing restrictions on behavior since last month.
However, after that, the highly infectious mutant virus "Delta strain" spread, and on the 26th, it was confirmed that 1939 people were infected, which is the largest number of people infected per day.
The Singaporean government has said that vaccination has been effective, saying that "98% of infected people in the past 28 days are mild or asymptomatic." Therefore, the number of people who eat at restaurants is limited to two per group, and companies have tightened the regulations again, such as working from home in principle.
On the other hand, in Thailand, where the number of newly infected people exceeds 10,000 every day, the government has extended the state of emergency issued throughout the country to the end of November on the 27th, and at 10 pm in the capital Bangkok etc. We have announced that we will continue to take measures to prohibit going out at night until 4 am.
In Thailand, only 26% of the population has been vaccinated twice, and the government is rushing and vigilant.

The Japanese government has provided Thailand with approximately 1.65 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine free of charge, and is strengthening its support for Thailand, which is facing the danger of spreading the infection.
