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.

Pure comedy.

How can this guy serious talk and walk with one foot in his mouth and the other up his rear end!

Hey Anutin where's my MULL?You promised me mull.You're mulling so why can't I?

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.

Saffronday Night Live?

They would be well advised to check there incoming flight manifests for tourists

from S Korea....particularly the Church.

Looks like the U.S. and Thailand are tied, as least of now... The info below being the latest tally for cases outside of China:

Bingo.

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.

 

"I hope that answers your question. Can I ask you, do you know where Italy is?"

Maybe Italy reports correctly. Whilst Thailand...

much like; imagine the LOS eyebrowses rising when they heard of the scapegoat - the fella who was named the spreader of the disease, from Singapore to UK

Thailand is likely the numbah one high risk country. Better for Italians if infected Thais don't go there.

This guy say the lack of cases in Thailand is very suspicious.

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.

maybe he was Leaning towards Pisa as the epicentre...

(the only part of Italy he's probably only ever heard of)

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.

The stats are the same for both Countries, but The USA has a population that is nearly 6 times greater than Thailands, and probably receives far less Tourists from China.

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.
