PHUKET: Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup has called for all people in Patong to self-quarantine for 14 days as health officials in the tourism town which has become the epicentre of Phuket infections prepare to start door-to-door checks tomorrow (Mar 31).

 

“I want people who live in Patong to quarantine themselves for 14 days starting right now,” Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup told The Phuket News today (Mar 30).

 

“Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana has already issued a notice asking people to stay off the streets and away from public areas from 8pm to 3am each night [see here], but this is an additional requirement from me,” she said.

Detol

Chanel #5

Hot Air - oh oh. They can't take the job from the Health Minister ????

Big Brother has officially stepped into the open and is  making a statement

yes... very mystifying ????️ 

 

looks like one of those 2.5 machines, stripped and flopped on its side, with a hose shoved up its... 

 

or a retrofitted factory space heater, with its burner injectors  swapped (concept R12 to R134, personified) 

better remove post before they come get me

Door to door inspections? Sounds a great way to spread the virus!

Wouldn't it have been more efficient to lock down BKK roads prior to the big exodus than asking Patong people staying at home ?

 

Fast forward 5 years. A cancer epidemic traced to inhaling all that god-knows-what that they are blowing everywhere.

Foreigners are excused self quarentine if they need to go to immigration.  Even if they have symptoms.  There is no letting off fine for self quarentine

How do you get essentials? Food delivery or is shopping for food and drinks exempted from the self-quarantine? 

Bring out yer dead...bring out yer dead...

"Any persons found suspected of being infected will be taken to Patong Hospital and then asked to spend a 14-day quarantine at the Sleep With Me hotel, where 200 rooms have been dedicated to accommodating “persons under investigation” (PUIs) – free of charge.

 

I find the Sleep With Me hotel very interesting....

Let me get this straight - they're going around everywhere and speaking to everyone during a pandemic....isn't that one way to spread it far and wide?

 

I'm not in Phuket but I'm not welcoming any visitors at the moment as I don't want to bring the virus to my doorstep.

 

If they come here the gas mask (the proper one) and goggles will go on before I approach them.
