snoop1130 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Wear a face mask for your travel by bus By THE NATION The wearing of face mask is now a must for all passengers travelling on all public buses, under new rules announced by the Land Transport Department. Anyone not wearing a face mask will be denied boarding a bus while passengers are required to keep the mask on throughout the journey, said the department's director general Chirute Visalachitra today (March 26), adding that bus operators must strictly adhere to the rules. They must prohibit anyone without a face mask from getting on board , but they could offer masks to them at reasonable price, Chirute said. Anyone presenting a body temperature higher than 37.5 degree Celcius will also be banned from entering all public transportation systems. The Department of Rail Transport has instructed all train and electric train operators to require passengers to wear masks.

Would that be 2.5 baht each, as stipulated by the government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will do as they say and enforce it, not just on buses but trains, airports and all public areas. Even a surgical mask with limited protection may prevent someone sneezing directly onto you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more about not transmitting it to someone else. Remember this can be transmitted when asymptomatic. A cough or a sneeze is enough. Maybe on someone or something.

It's organized by the district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wow! Be careful. That sounds like sanitization. This means someone in your block, whatever, has been confirmed or is suspected. It could of course be spraying for mozzies. Best you find out. Was the spraying smokey? If so that's for mozzies. Misty that's sanitization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds reasonable to me, you'd better buy a mask than miss the bus. Again, masks may be not that useful, but they help the public feel more comfortable.

DrTuner Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 One of the places where you need N95. There's a real possibility of catching aerosolized virus when in a small container with people coughing. The surgical masks will do very little against that. Stay home.

pomchop Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Masks at least help prevent/remind people from touching their hands to their face? So maybe not totally worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice777 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Sorry guys face masks don't work. What works is not getting on the Bus in the first place. Just had a chat online with a Thai friend of mine she's saying basically saying dirty westerners not wearing face masks but she's going to get noodle soup three times a day and go around her friend's house to get drunk. Looks like some stupid Thai people are putting their faith in face masks and not social distancing I'm afraid to say I think the deaths in Thailand could be 10 times worse than over other countries who abide by strict social distancing rules. Social distancing is not designed to stop you getting the virus is designed to slow the virus down and take the strain of the hospitals all at once meaning there will be more beds and ventilators for the people who need them i.e. fewer deaths.
