More insurance firms face bankruptcy if COVID-19 insurance claims are not scrapped
views  541

The Thai General Insurance Association has predicted that more insurance companies may collapse next year, due to the surging number of claims for compensation for COVID-19 infections, if the Omicron variant spreads across the country.

The association's president, Anon Wangvasu, said yesterday (Wednesday) that insurance companies as a whole have sustained losses, amounting to 37 billion baht, from compensation claims by people infected with coronavirus, or an average of 3,000 claims a day up to November this year, and the losses are predicted to increase to 40 billion baht by the year end.

He said that compensation claims may surge to 180 billion baht next year, if the Omicron variant spreads quickly and infects several tens of thousands of people each day, in which case several more insurance companies will be unable to shoulder the burden of the claims and will, ultimately, be forced into bankruptcy.

The only way to save them is for the Insurance Commission to rescind the Registrar's Order and allow insurance firms to scrap the "Find, Pay, End" policies, which enable the insured to claim compensation from the firms when it is proved that they were infected with COVID-19.

The Office of the Insurance Commission has, so far, revoked the licenses of two non-life insurance companies, "The One" and "Asia Insurance", which defaulted on compensation claims.

Anon claimed that as many as two million insured people will be affected if one more insurance firm collapses.

Last week, dozens of the claimants rallied in front of the office of the commission seeking help, claiming that they may not receive compensation now that two insurance companies have closed.

Chonburi announces total of 8 locally spread Omicron Covid -19 confirmed cases, 20 imported

The Chonburi Public Health Office today (December 30th) has announced in total 8 locally spread cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant infection with 20 imported cases.

Chonburi –

  1. All twenty of the imported cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant infection were found from the test and go and sandbox project. Nineteen of them were confirmed since the first day of their arrival/first test and are being treated and quarantined in hotels in Banglamung. One of them is in a hotel in Si Racha and was confirmed on their second test and their contacts are being traced.
  2. Eight local cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant infection were found from random tests on confirmed Covid-19 cases in Banglamung, showing that the variant, which is highly transmissible but appears to be milder than the Delta variant in terms of symptoms, according to preliminary, non-peer-reviewed studies from countries like South Africa and the UK, is spreading in the region.  TPN media notes that these were random tests, which means that the actual number of Omicron cases is likely understated as not every recent case has been examined on an individual basis for type.
  3. Thai officials from the Department of Public Health have stated they continue to monitor the situation and while they have addressed statements from some countries about the variant potentially being milder, they also have expressed concerns for its high transmissibility and Thailand's relatively low double vaccination rate, roughly 64% of the total population. As a result, the current goal is to "slow" the transmission of the variant as much as possible.  However, New Year's events will be allowed to continue as of press time and as of now no restrictions or further mitigation measures have been announced in Chonburi.

Omicron variant infections in Thailand increased by 194 yesterday (Wednesday), to 934.

Dr. Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the Medical Sciences Department, said today (Thursday) that the new cases include 88 foreign arrivals and that the rest are locally-acquired infections.

He noted that locally-transmitted cases will have a tendency to spike faster than cases involving travellers from abroad, as arrivals are slowing.

He also said that the Omicron variant has now spread through all 13 Area Health zones in Thailand.

Area Health zones constitute the administrative structure of the Ministry of Public Health, which groups 4-8 provinces, with populations between 3 and 6 million, into one Area Health zone.

Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul sent an urgent letter today to the Public Health Permanent Secretary, instructing him to order all public health agencies to comply strictly with measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Omicron variant in particular, and to encourage the unvaccinated to get inoculated quickly.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Interior ordered the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and provincial governors nationwide to urge businesses to follow the COVID free setting measure strictly during the long New Year break and implored members of the public to avoid visiting crowded areas.
