webfact Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Five Asean countries named as high-risk for Covid-19 infection By THE NATION Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and Myanmar have been added to the list of countries and territories considered as high risk for the new coronavirus (Covid-19) infection on the Royal Gazette website. A Ministry of Public Health announcement on Wednesday (April 22), signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, stated that the Covid-19 situation in these countries was escalating. Under Sections 5 and 8 of the Communicable Disease Act BE 2558, these countries were named as high risk for infection, in order to increase efficiency in disease prevention and control among Thai authorities. On March 6, Thailand had named four countries -- China (including Hong Kong and Macau), South Korea, Italy and Iran -- as being high risk for Covid-19 infection.

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted April 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm surprised Laos is on the list. The borders have been tightly closed for some time now, and the lockdown, even in villages, is being enforced. All 19 cases are accounted for and efforts have been made to trace everyone on the affected flights/transport. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madmitch Posted April 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2020 But the USA, UK, France and Spain haven't joined Italy on the list! And what about Singapore, where the problem is escalating faster than any other southeast Asian country? Why bother; it's a worldwide problem. It just isn't worth naming specific countries as things change constantly. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post andy72 Posted April 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) This list is useless its total infections since the start; This data is a few days old What you have to look at is Active cases Japan has a lot of active cases the critical cases are reflective of elderly and at risk population which only really show up in nations that have such care. The data from Myanmar just cannot be trusted & the data from India in that they have no critical cases very misleading I think Thailand should worry more about Saudi & India rather than having Laos on its list Edited April 23, 2020 by andy72 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding them to the list legitimizes continued closing off those countries for arrivals into the Kingdom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsider Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Malaysia's daily new cases have dropped since the middle of April, from three to two digits. Active cases also dropping, if what a mate shared is correct. And the Malaysian lockdown may well be extended, despite this. The way they handled the crisis, headed by their Director-General of public health (or something like that), have been recognised one of the best by the international community. Meanwhile, Singapore is registering four-figure increases after they 'flattened the curve'. Try to keep up, Anutin and gang, and actually do something proactive. For once.

DrTuner Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Here's a hint: the closest WHO reference labs in the area for Laos & co are in Thailand. MoPH knows more than they let out. https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-reference-laboratories-providing-confirmatory-testing-for-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=a03a01e6_8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy72 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 210,000,000 and all at once that is the main problem' health services cannot cope you cannot dig holes fast enough you gotta carry out autopsies or Johnny be desperate is suffocating grandma in her bed to get his inheritance early there are such a multitude of reasons plus the 210,000,000 is a soft estimate its an ethics problem who do we condemn to death that's why we have lock downs the sad truth is BORIS survived if he had died its a whole new ball game he had his chance to go down in history and he blew that too bumbling Boris... I would not trust figures from Myanmar especially the cesspit that is Yangon Laos is still so under developed its easy to think that they dont have a lot of infections even after lock down and the 'new' normal there is still the same risk this virus is confusing the hell out of them the report of the guy in china still detectable 2 months later and hes not alone of course everyone wants to blame the test kits there is so much disbelief in the world these days the fake news closing the internet down on countries who is to say there is not a few thousand web people hiding out in each countries bunkers making pages or algorithms that make pages to satisfy the masses what is real what is not sometime the effects on movies TV astound we know how to make false so precisely if the virus is a fake what is the outcome in every conspiracy crime etc you have to look at who benefits so who benefits from a fake virus so far the only winner is planet earth the air is cleaner the ganges is actually cleaner has the ice poles stopped melting have they slowed have the fires diminished in Australia Of course for every doomsayer on here China is the winner its about to take over the world Its going to be the new economic powerhouse Frankly I just get bored witless by conspiracy theory and all that goes with it and fear of who is going to be the new number 1 the fact is Donnie 'boy' 'MAGA' Trump is the numero uno head honcho and you dont worry we are screwed one way or the other chill take a pill find a bit of what you fancy welcome to the 'new' normal????????????????????????????????????????????????
