Songkhla tightens anti-virus measures despite no new cases in 11 days 

By The Nation

 

 

Songkhla province is tightening measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 in various areas, although the number of cases has remained stable for the past eleven days.

 

Government authorities and the private sector came together today (April 14) to spray disinfectant in many places, including Ranot Market, to make sure that merchants and customers are safe from the virus.

 

 

The Covid-19 situation in Songkhla has shown signs of easing as the number of Covid-19 cases hasn’t changed in eleven days. 

 

 

The total number of patients is 56, including 19 who returned from “Dawah” (Muslim missionary) pilgrimage in Indonesia.

 

 

However, many people are still worried that more than 1,200 Thai labourers returning from Indonesia via the Sadao border checkpoint from April 18 could lead to Covid-19 spreading in the province again.

Why? If there no new cases why do you make it worse for people and destroy their lives? This government is going berserk. They should adjust their policies according to the situation, not just blindly close and ban everything. It's like became a competition among provinces to ban the most they can now. With the numbers that are reported lately about COVID 19, thye should start lifting their restrictions. However, it would be wise to keep some preventive measures, such as wearing masks, social distancing and ban of large crowds for now.

I'd be more worried about buying food from there that's just been covered in spray.

Maybe you do not open everything because that would cause a big spike in cases... you

know, like some other places that did it too soon and had that happen. It is a good thing that 

some posters here, have no powers. Just my thoughts.
