Ban on sale of aquatic animals from Myanmar due to Covid-19 fears

By The Nation

 

 

Mae Klong Fish Market in Samut Songkhram province will temporarily ban aquatic animals from Myanmar from September 23 due to the risk of Covid-19.

 

The announcement was made on September 18 after a second Covid-19 wave in the neighbouring country and the increasing number of patients.

 

Aquatic animals from Myanmar would be temporarily banned and buyers would be prohibited from bringing the animal containers out of the market, the announcement said.

 

The market believed that there was a danger of the virus infecting the animals and causing a new outbreak in Thailand too.

Do they also advise how to distinguish between Thai & Myanmar species .........LOL 

Shoot! I rather fancied an amorous tryst with a Burmese mermaid.

A ban of cross border people trafficking may be more effective in controlling a virus spread by humans?

the Thai paranoia of Covid has no boundaries.  I imagine pretty soon no imported American cars and no French cheese

"The market believed that there was a danger of the virus infecting the animals..."

 

Gosh darn those pesky fish. Where's the governments Fish Disease Control Office Spokesman when you need him? Should I place my daughters goldfish in quarantine, isolate them from each other? We need guidance!!!!!
