snoop1130 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Chang International Circuit to house people flouting self-quarantine rule By The Nation Veteran politician Newin Chidchob posted on his Facebook page that Buriram officials have prepared the Chang International Circuit as a special place for stubborn people who need home quarantine but still venture outside. Buriram officials announced that those who ignore the 14-day self-quarantine guideline will be housed at the motorsport race track building until their quarantine period is complete, starting from the day they are brought in. People who return from high-risk areas or those in the “sensitive” group – like seniors and kids – have to register to stay home for 14 days, separate personal utensils from other family members, and keep from from going out in public. Registrants will be installed with a tracking system; if they venture 50 metres from their homes, the gadget will set off a warning alarm. If the registrants ignore this warning signal, they will be forced to undergo state quarantine. The officials apologised to Buriram residents for any inconvenience.

holy cow cm Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 They sort of make it sound like it is a total lockdown. And what about Anutin? I have a couple of comments to make on this charade but will refrain as do not want to take another TV holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buriram's that last place I would want to end up as they seem to have an authoritarian nanny-state going full-bore there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEFLKrabi Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 It depends how you read it. People are asked to self quarantine and if they don’t comply they’re moved to government quarantine. It’s about protecting the Good people of Buriram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
