Hua Lamphong Railway Station shined up

By The Nation

 

 

State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has the cleaners working overtime at Bangkok’s main railway terminus, Hua Lamphong Station, out of concern over the Covid-19 virus.

 

A hive of people on the move, both Thais and foreigners, the station is being sprayed with disinfectant inside, with extra attention paid to the most frequently touched surfaces, such as ticket offices, passenger seats and washrooms.

 

The trains are also sprayed before every departure, with the focus on handrails and seating.

 

Travellers will likely feel more confident seeing station and train staff wearing facemasks at all times while on duty.

Will there really be 'klingons on the starboard bow'?

While it does say there's 'focus on handrails and seating', the picture shows cleaning the outside of a train.

Doesn't this seem to be the 'false sense of security' that's been mentioned by those saying that the masks provide no real protection from infection?

 

"The problem is that the particles that carry the COVID-19 virus are small and easily move right through dust masks and surgical masks. These masks may provide some protection to other people if you wear one while you are sick – like coughing into a tissue – but they will do little to protect you from other sick people."
