Three cheers for the Governor .for showing some balls

All persons arriving on the island will have to complete a form confirming that they have entered Phuket and install the “Mor Chan” app “so officials can follow up  on disease investigation”, he said.

 

Good idea.

 

There must be space between each passenger and some seats arranged for passengers who have suspicious symptoms during the flight,” he said.

 

Good idea.

 

“AoT Phuket has already arranged screening measures and installed five thermo scanners in areas of the airport,” he added.

 

Good idea.

 

I hope sarasin bridge will open 16 same. 

Next weeks news Phuket in lock down AGAIN

Too much fuss about nothing, just a few cases that put the economy to its knees. Congratulations for this great achievement!
