Its a very usefull ???? operation right now. Knowing that there is almost no covid infections in Thailand and the virus can only survive a relatively short time on surfaces in amounts that it could be infectious. Its like shooting with a shotgun on a mosquito. But at least they can show they did something.

According to a May 5th article::

 

"Based on our knowledge of the conditions required for disinfectants to work, we suspect these activities are as much about authorities being seen to do something as about actually stopping the spread of COVID-19".

 

 

"A far more effective regime is to recommend stringent personal hygiene. This includes regular hand washing with soap and water and the use of alcohol-based sanitizer when hand washing isn't possible".

IMOP, the first paragraph holds true
