Reports on social media that a staff member at a bar located on Soi 6 in Pattaya had contracted the coronavirus are false, officials have said.

 

Rumours started circulating over the weekend that a beer bar staffer had been infected with the coronavirus and that she could potentially be a so called ‘Super Spreader’ having come into contact with hundreds of customers. 

 

Health officials later contacted the woman and sent her for tests at Chulalongkorn Hospital, where it was confirmed she just had regular flu and not the coronavirus, which is now officially known as COVID-19.

 

On Tuesday, officials posted on the PR Pattaya Facebook page to confirm the woman had tested negative for COVID-19.

 

Officials also advised that people can report anyone who they suspect of having the coronavirus but who has failed to properly quarantine themselves to Bang Lamung Public Health Office on 038-221-925.

 

The news comes as health officials in Pattaya have been busy disinfecting key areas of the city.

 

On Sunday teams were out in force spraying disinfectant at U-Tapao airport, as well as on Walking Street and through to Bali Hai Pier. 

 

The move inspire confidence among tourists that the resort was clean and Covid-19 free.

 

Meanwhile, officials are continuing to warn the public against deliberately spreading false information regarding COVID-19.

 

On Tuesday, Thailand’s Minister of Digital Economy and Society Puttipong Punnakanta said he will request the police take action against a Thai woman who allegedly posted on Twitter to say that 40 people in her neighbourhood in the Huai Khwang district of Bangkok had been infected with Covid-19.

 

The claim wasn’t true, the Public Health Ministry later confirmed. 

 

The woman said she just Tweeted and didn’t think her comments would be taken so seriously.

Doesn't take much for a scenario like this to come true.

 

Thumbs down to the silly cow for working even with a flu.

Blimey hundreds of costomer's .. Must be a quick worker .. 

And coming into contact with costomers is all part of the job I would have thought .. 

Prudent that the word leg was omitted when the term super spreader was included .. 

"The woman said she just Tweeted and didn’t think her comments would be taken so seriously."

I take nothing stated in Thailand seriously.

She doesn't have Corona virus. She is different. 

Well, she actually might be a super spreader in some sense.

 

I guess the job requires the frequent spreading of certain appendages.

Oh !  Only  flu?  Great. That"s  relatively harmless isn't  it?  Only  500,000 approx in  2019 and on the  increase year on year.

C'mon Corvid-19 ! Present your   deadly  challenge to match the  hype! Deaths  are  still in the low  1000's after around  two months  already!

Ok, ok ! Sorry.  Influenza has not shut down the  globe  like you have ! Well done !

????

Oh!  And  you....the  sick girl.......no problem....carry on. Sorry  we  harrassed  you  over  nuthin ! But  maybe you  should  follow up  on some treatment for the  multiple STD's that the  tests  for  CORVID -19 also showed  up.

I suspect (and I might be wrong) that they mean a generic cold. If she had Flu, I would of thought she would be laid up in bed (alone).

Statistically, you could say the same of most Thai women, not just bar girls.

Among the highest levels of infection in the world, and a culture not noted for its straightforward acknowledgement of problems.

Yet Anutty can spread any old nonsense he  likes, need  masks  dont need  masks

I hope everyone is fully aware of what this so called "fake news" squad are all about 

 

 

open your mouth talk about something truth or otherwise and you will be arrested 

 

it is actually worse than communist China

 

Thailand has gone way too far with this

 

Yes is sounds like nothing and is a buzz word around the world "fake news"

 

Thailand has taken it to a whole new level

 

Don't dare open your mouth about what you think might be going on or the men with guns and balaclavas will take you away  

In other news, it has been reported that prostitution is illegal in Thailand.

Looks like a butchers shop. I have never visited this place, they look so enthusiastic!

OH, it's only the flu!  The bars are basically bacteria pits. Anyone whose thinking with their heads, not little heads would be wise to stay clear of these places for the time being. 

I am sure that the city of Pattaya is the holiday resort, the land of the smile will once again be the land of beautiful Russian and Thai women, I am American, I love this city

Yes, it wasn't even flu but gonorrhea , she has gone back to work to earn enough to get that sorted. 

Don’t know about Soi 6 there, but yesterday on the BTS which I avoid at ALL costs, a man about 30, a farang, was coughing so bad that I thought he was gonna pass our. He finally exited BTS and everyone was looking at each other. I was the only one asking why are you here and not home if you are so sick?
