Chanthaburi gets tough with those who don't wear face masks

By THE NATION

 

 

Chanthaburi has ordered all people in the province to wear sanitary or cloth face masks when leaving their homes, or face a maximum fine of Bt20,000.

 

The order was issued by Governor Withurat Srinam on Thursday (April 2) and will be effective from April 3 to 30.

 

“The Chanthaburi Committee for Communicable Disease has agreed to enforce the order in the province until the end of April, as the Covid-19 situation in Thailand is still escalating, while the numbers of infected and those under investigation/quarantine are continually rising,” said Withurat.

 

The governor issued the order under Section 34(6) of the Communicable Disease Act BE 2558 that empowers the provincial governor to announce regulations to prevent the spreading of communicable diseases in their responsible areas. Those who do not obey the order will be in violation of Section 51 of the Act, punishable by a maximum fine of Bt20,000.

And the first question to ask of course is : "we can not buy masks... mai mi... so how do we respect this regulation ?"

 

????

 

But of course, and as usual, those "governors" decide first, and think after.

 

What matters is to issue, everyday if possible, an order. Any kind of order. A paper. Anything to exist. Anything to be noticed by the medias, by the central gvt.

 

It's a competition.

Covid 19 has been with us since January, did you not see it coming? Anyone who has not got a mask of sorts has not tried very hard.

'a mask' isn't effective, more than one required

 

Ms M's workplace had a large stock of quality ones and continue to issue to their 155 staff daily.

 

Markets are selling low-grade disposable dust masks at 40 baht each.

 

Not easy for low-income families (many who may soon be no-income) to afford that

Wasn't commenting on their effectiveness, the fact is if you want to go out and shop now you need a mask.

 

I used the words 'of sorts' on purpose, make one if you need to go out, piece cloth and something to fasten it with. Again, effective or not it is now a requirement, its that simple.

They should be more worried about fining those who don't have and don't use tubes of sanitiser when their out and about.

This is the problem in Los, PM says one thing and the provincial governers go off on a tangent, lets have a defined rule so there is no wriggle Room.

ONLY for social acceptance (in Chiang Mai) I've made my own: a pillowcase stitched up with elastic.

And the second question to ask is: Why can't you cut up some cloth at home and make your own... stop whingeing
