Seventeen of the 158 Thai illegal workers who returned to Thailand on Wednesday (March 4) have high fever but the first test result for Covid-19 was result, according to the Immigration Office.

 

Thai illegal labourers started returning home on March 3, landing at three airports -- a total of 158 people.

 

Suvarnabhumi Airport received 107 workers. Immigration officers found 17 people had high fever and they were suspected of suffering from the Covid-19 infection. They were transferred to Ramathibodi Hospital. The first Covid-19 test returned a negative result. The 90 others who showed no symptoms need to self-quarantine for 14 days.

 

The 50 workers who landed at Don Mueang Airport and one who landed at Phuket airport did not have any Covid-19 symptoms. All are required to self-quarantine for 14 days.

And what do you think the Thai government should do? And more precisely: What are they allowed to do under the existing laws?

Exactly. They can't abondon their own, especially in a foreign country. 

 

I have a feeling this gets a whole lot worse though as more and more start returning.

The only good news in this piece is that Anutin Chanvirakul was not quoted or mentioned once.

Ive seen a certain group of people

(not mentioning names) not even bothering to cover their mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Even when in public or in close proximity to people. they just dont know or care.

 

Would you really trust them to observe a 14 day quarantine?

properly?

 

As this site reports, there could possibly be thousands of Thais returning from infected countries.

Maybe some who are infected and not showing symptoms.

 

IMO this is the most scariest thing ive heard as far as Corona and Thailand goes.

 

And with Songkran water splashing coming up.

 

 

Better pray to God or Buddha or someone, that this doesnt turn into a perfect storm.

Since when have laws held any sway?

[kotsak]

Unless they place officers outside their premises to enforce the quarantine, I doubt the majority of them will stay put.

Same thing they did with all the Thai Wuhan evacuees... shuttle them off to a military housing facility for two weeks quarantine to check for potential CV cases.

 

The notion this government doesn't have the authority to do something like that is total B.S., especially after the formal emergency declaration that took effect Sunday making CV a dangerous infectious disease and giving them broad powers to contain it.

Absolutely. Remember this law made up on the spot back in 2014: 'eating a sandwich with political intent'.

From Feb. 18:  Two weeks quarantine:

 

Quote

 

The 137 Thai evacuees from the Chinese city of Wuhan, who have been under observation in guest houses at the Sattahip naval base since February 4th, are expected to return home to re-join their families tomorrow (Wednesday) after final medical check-ups.

 

Dr. Hansa Raksakhon, director of the 6th Disease Control Office in Chon Buri province, said today that the 137 returnees have completed their quarantine and they are all in good shape.

Start telling the truth maybe !! Perhaps realize that trying to cover up things just makes the situation worse in the long run ??

I’m 99.999% sure it was meant as a joke (the sue when dead part).

And why exactly do you think they don't tell the truth?

Do you have any evidence?

I don't know if they or some of them tell the truth or not. But as far as I know there is no evidence that they are lying.

 

It seems one (possibly worldwide) problem is that there are not enough kits to test people if they have that virus.

I just read an article about Washington state and people who wanted to get tested. They were not tested and it seems because they were not enough test kits available.

So maybe the number in Thailand and elsewhere are too low because of this - but a little low or a lot? Who knows?

158 Thai illegal workers who returned to Thailand on Wednesday

 

Here is a sample of Thai workers who have no respect for law being illegal workers , do you believe they will respect 14 days of home quarantine? Ohh look the rain is coming I just saw a squadron of flying pigs go by.

[xtof2]

And they expect 5000 more (at least!) to come back !

 

No problem. Everything is under control, right my General ?

Do what Canada did, send planes to China with the evacuation of Canadians and  they flew them back to Canada and straight into an army base for the 14 day quarantine.

Looks like a grave situation. Some sort of plot?

[christophe75]

So Thais can catch the virus ? Actually ? Really ? For real ?

 

It hurts my feelings.

 

It's unfair.

 

It was not supposed to happen.
