Governors told to track returnees by app

By The Nation

 

 

The Interior Ministry has told all provincial governors to use the “AOT Airports” application to track everyone returning home from Bangkok and vicinity, where the vast majority of Covid-19 infections in Thailand have occurred, and from at-risk overseas locales.

 

Permanent secretary Chatchai Promlert told governors to have district offices inform sub-district chiefs, village headman and municipal authorities to monitor everyone who’s been in the capital and metropolitan area since March 6 onwards, or overseas.

 

Special attention should be paid to those who’ve had contact with confirmed carriers of the virus, he said.

 

Chatchai ordered the governors to have community leaders ask returnees to install “AOT Airports” on their phones so their whereabouts can be tracked and, should it indicate they are “missing”, to follow guidelines on what to do next.

Hardly anyone will be travelling now anyway with the new lockdown rules. Most went home last week after their workplaces closed, any who were contagious took it home and dispersed it already.

The "App" was to be the saviour in the tracking of Thailand's visitors and returnees.....who is going to police this even if it does work, which is likely doubtful!

The Buriram Passport app which showed live info around Buriram has been changed and this app is now recommended. Bye Bye Buriram app.
