rooster59 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thai Health Ministry mulls listing Italy as high risk for COVID-19 infection Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health is considering listing Italy as one of the high-risk countries for COVID-19 infection, travellers arriving from which will be screened at their port of entry into Thailand, Dr. Thanarak Plipat, deputy director-general of the Disease Control Department, told a media conference today. He said that the additional measure, now under consideration, stems from the sharp rise in COVID-19 infections in Italy. He said that the ministry has not yet imposed a travel ban on Thai citizens, but has advised those who want to travel overseas to postpone their trip for the foreseeable future, adding, however, that if the travel is necessary, they must take steps to protect themselves with face masks and sanitizers.

Popular Post Creasy Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've said it before. If Thailand wasn't so suppressed when it came to the media and free speech, you could make a nightly 2 hour long satirical show mocking the buffoons in charge. But don't mock anyone or speak the truth as you will end up in court or maybe jail for 15 years. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU has already expressed concern about Thailand. If Thailand so much as threatens any EU country, it will be game over for Thailand. The minister has no appreciation of the contempt the international community has for Thailand because of his inaction and outbursts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JHolmesJr Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 They are sailing into a world full of hurt. Claiming that there hasn't been a single infection since weeks defies all global trends on the spread. perhaps they are ill-equipped to diagnose...no more kits... perhaps they want us to believe some green plant cures it. We know the national penchant of lying for financial gain. Just to prop up their country's tourism class. Pathetic. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzian Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I just booked a flight from SFO to Rome on April 11. I'll stay a few weeks in Italy and then fly on to BKK, completing a round-the-world. UNLESS of course I'm ill or they ban people coming from Italy. I plan to spend the time in the central and south, and all the cases in Italy so far I believe are in the north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmm I didn't say it make any sense or is believable. I'm just reporting the official stats as they exist, since Italy suddenly seems to have vaulted into the upper echelons.
