Popular Post webfact Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 BANGKOK – Caretaker Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health to lay down COVID-19 prevention guideline for schools. Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisuree Taisaranakul disclosed that as the opening of new school term is imminent, the prime minister has instructed two ministries to work together in laying down guideline for prevention of the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases, such as influenza. This is due to the remarkable increase of COVID-19 infected cases following the Songkran holidays, coupling with the country’s entering into the rainy season. With the COVID-19 measures being eased and normalization of people’s way of living, it is important to set a clear healthcare guideline for education institutes, i.e., screening procedure, school quarantine of sick children, provision of alcohols and washing stations in schools, and ensuring hygiene of school equipment and classrooms, etc. The Prime Minister also urged the parents to take their children to receive a booster dose of vaccine.

dinsdale Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Once again I forgot to source a worldometer graph. So I'll give it another go. Lets start with sourcing the graph . https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/thailand/ 3 hours ago, webfact said: This is due to the remarkable increase of COVID-19 infected cases So yes there is an increase but it's certainly not remarkable. 3 hours ago, webfact said: The Prime Minister also urged the parents to take their children to receive a booster dose of vaccine. Interesting that countries like the UK and Australia are not recommending this course of action. Unfortunately I cannot say more about this as it is still a Taboo subject. 3 hours ago, webfact said: screening procedure By this I'm guessing it will be the useless temp. monitors for fevers which is one of the lesser symptoms of Omicron. Will schools be "screening" for these more common symptoms? Interestingly mask wearing is not mentioned. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/omicron-symptoms-covid-what-to-know-rcna9469 https://joinzoe.com/learn/omicron-symptoms Sore throat Hoarse voice Cough Fatigue Nasal congestion Runny nose Headache Muscle aches Sneezing Edited May 10, 2023 by dinsdale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International Schools have not been on holidays (apart from 2 weeks Easter/Songkran) and there have not been any covid measures at them for months. All seems well, at least at my daughters one and others in Phuket. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dinsdale Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 My daughter will most definetely NOT be getting another jab. Complete nonsence. She's a healthy 13 year old. And please none of this but your daughter might get Covid at school and take it home with her. Yes, this is true but getting jabbed will not prevent this as this novel vaccine does not stop the spread of the virus. 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo1968 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Even most of the staff in shops are not wearing masks now, most of the Thais are wearing masks now because of the air pollution. I don’t want my son to be wearing one all day but unfortunately I have to abide by the school rules, his mask didn’t stop him having fever not Covid last term.

Up until the last day of term in March they were still wearing masks, I assume when he goes back on Monday because of the government’s recommendations they will be wearing them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it being used to control the people in Thailand.

Ah I misread your posting....I somehow imagined that the vaccinations for the kids was cancelled. .... which indeed is odd...if the government says the vaccine does not work well with this strain than it would be logic but calling everyone to be boosted and cancel it on the other side is strange.

If she get's Covid I am in no way concerned. Why should I be. Who knows she might get it and doesn't even know. Maybe no symptoms, maybe a runny nose, maybe a bit sick for a couple of days but she'll be fine.
