The Department of Labour Protection and Welfare did not find any case of coronavirus inflection in a recent survey of 2.2 million employees of over 1,900 companies, said Minister of Labour Chatu Mongol Sonakul on Monday (January 3).

 

“The department conducted inspections on workers in the industrial, sales, and service sectors. At the same time, most companies are aware of the threat and have preventive measures in place,” he said.

 

The measures include briefing workers on the characteristics of the virus, employee screening, and increasing frequency of cleaning, said director general Apinya Sujarittanan.

 

“Also, operators of service enterprises, department stores, and hotels are screening all visitors and providing hand gels and sanitising solutions. Employees are told to clean and sterilise places frequented by customers. 

 

“We have ordered our officials to monitor those enterprises closely and collaborate with relevant agencies ” he concluded.

How reassuring! 

I'd be inclined to call this "fake news"!!!

 

I seriously doubt the Dept. of Labour actually did anything that would in any way ascertain the actual presence of coronavirus in 2.2 million employees in Thailand....

 

I would barely believe even that they actually surveyed 1,900 different companies in Thailand on the subject. And even if they did conduct such a survey not of the employees but of the companies, the companies wouldn't necessarily have any idea if any of their employees might be carrying or have come down with the coronavirus.

 

Got to admit it guys...the Thai,s are on the ball on this one....no messing about...1900 companies cleared in record breaking time,how,s that for efficiency 

Remind me of when the cops went trough Pattaya and found 0 prostitutes.

Blood tests done on 2.2 million people? I don't think so... 555

I'm pretty sure if they were trying to find a "coronavirus inflection" they would have been wasting their time and effort which would have been better spent learning to spell.

yes Sirree. All this time, I've thought that Thais were dishonest,venal, unintelligent and incompetent. Then this... It's a revelation and no mistake.

 

How could I have been so wrong?

is that all? i thought it was going to be a huge number.

You know those smiley machines that ask for feedback of customer experience at different businesses? I think they used those to find out the result: How do you feel? ????Excellent ????Normal ????Corona

Inspired by this piece of news. I was moved to investigate the bottom of my garden. I'm pleased to report there was no infection of Coronavirus there, so by the yardstick of the Thai government, Thailand can now be declared officially clear of the virus.

2.2 mill. people tested and cleared. That truly amazing!

Now we know why they have not had time to test the amount of Patients under Investigation and that number is growing day by day. I was sure there would be a good reason for that.

If you believe this report, you will believe anything, and the moon is made of cheese.. ???? ????

100% shameful propaganda and flat out lies.
 

Thailand is becoming more like China by the day.

This minister will get roasted on Thai social media.

What a load of BS............... 1,900 companies, 2,200,000 employees, so an average of 1,157 employees per company and the LD managed to check them all in record time............

2.2m workers is roughly 6% of the working population and I'd have my doubts that there are 1,900 companies employing 1,157 people each!

Guess it was..........'do you feel OK?' 'Yes' 

Why on earth do they produce such obvious rubbish?

"Why on earth do they produce such obvious rubbish?"

 

Because they are Thai ??

The Nation becoming more like the NNT with their propaganda.

And the declaration a couple of years ago that all Thai police would be proficient in English within 6 months.  A friend of mine was running one of the classes but were cancelled after 2 nights because none of the cops showed up.  Although it may have something to do with the Pms statement that Thai would soon be the international language. 

 

For a people who dont like to lose face they sure are efficient at it!

Bangkok traffic woes to be cleared within 6 months.
