Chiang Mai remains on alert for Covid-19 infections even though the province has not had any cases for over 18 days.

 

The authorities are strictly screening people from Myanmar, where numerous infected cases were reported in Tachileik district, near Chiang Mai’s Mae Sai district.

 

This week, the province will send officials to check migrant workers living in Chiang Mai, and enforce strict measures to prevent the virus from spreading in crowded places such as Army camps or prisons.

 

Dr Kittiphan Chalom from Chiang Mai’s public health office said that cumulative cases in the province were 40, and eight patients were being currently treated in hospitals.

Chiang mai, BKK and Phuket were visited by at least a million tourists from Wuhan during December 2019 to March 2020 and yes there are no virus cases in these cities.

WHO is owned by CCP and therefore can't be trusted. That Tedros guy must get a life time jail.

Time will tell.  Right now the US has 18 deaths per 100,000 and their economy has been destroyed and the population locked down for the most part.  In addition, the second and third wave infections, when they come...not if, will have a much greater effect on those populations who were locked down.  So, Sweden is slightly ahead of the US in deaths right now....let's see where they are in a year.  Sweden's economy, school systems and society were not sacrificed for the continued longevity of a few sick old men.
