One step in the right direction, as people movements are linked to the spread.

But the real cure is educating people how to social distance and be hygienically clean.

Most of the respondents of a Super Poll opinion survey backed the Thai government's curfew order,

The curfew itself achieves very little except stopping overnight parties.

Educating people how to protect themselves is much better.

Teach them how to social distance properly, at home and in public.

Wear a mask so as not inhale or exhale infectious substances.

How to be personally hygienic at all times, these measures will be enough not to transmit the virus from person to person.

They heard the governor was stopping anything from spreading wider, so they legged it!

I wonder what criterion the Thai government will apply?

Depends on how many test are actually being performed daily... for around a 100 cases every day the measures in place seem harsh, unless the government know the figures are higher as people are not being tested.

I would make that a certainty, and parade them on TV for anyone else who might think it's worth a try!

That's surely a step too far! Foreigners are being treated like plague carriers whose only intent is to infect and kill the locals? BS!

I wonder if European countries are victimising foreigners for their Corvid issues or are we just being targeted by a racist regime here in Thailand.

It's about time our joint embassies sent an open letter to the government to ask them politely show some humanity.

A few hundred "working girls" returning from Malaysia, nothing to do here, no money, no employment, no prospects, no savings, no boyfriend, dating sites are going to be full of them looking for a sponsor!

Sri-nopparat 11’s crew members reported the incident to Plutaluang Police Station in Chon Buri province but the police were not able to read the coordinates and decided to contact the fish merchants' association in Samut Sakhon.

 

Officials explained to Preecha that incidents at sea should be reported to the Marine Department specialising in those matters.

Lol

They seem to be talking about weddings and funerals specifically.  The former I can see postponing, but the latter, maybe a little harder.

On ice for a while... with only 19 Corvid deaths and less from road accidents the morgues have space!

I guess the virus sleeps during the day so it is safe to go out then?

Got to go out sometime... buying supplies etc.

But people stuffed themselves with evening/nighttime parties!

The government might take recourse to a 24-hour curfew within a week if the number of Covid-19 patients kept rising.

Just announce non-essential movements are banned.

If you're out & about you'd better have a good reason!

farmers in the North are still burning farm waste and contributing to the smog.

So what are the governors doing about the farmers.... 

Rhetorical question..

And the first question to ask of course is : "we can not buy masks... mai mi... so how do we respect this regulation ?"

And the second question to ask is: Why can't you cut up some cloth at home and make your own... stop whingeing
