It would be remarkable if the MPH can accurately track the return of people to the province.  Monitoring public transportation and the roads entering the province is quite a new development and, in any case, probably incompete.  But a good effort!

 

All in all, given the migrant labor from Chiang Mai down south and the traditional return of people to be with families for Song Kran, the number of cases should increase in the province even with the preventative measures now in place.

But as mentioned, the simple way to keep the figures down is not to test.
