Eleven municipal schools, in Mae Sot district of Thailand’s northwestern province of Tak, are closed today as health workers spray them with disinfectant.

 

Meanwhile, health officials are conducting random COVID-19 tests today on Thais and migrant workers from Myanmar in several communities in the district which are deemed to be at risk.  About 4,000 people are expected to be tested today.

 

People living in high-risk communities have been told not to venture out of their homes, unless it is essential, and to be extra careful in protecting themselves, by wearing face masks, maintaining social distancing and to frequently sanitizing their hands.

Fearmongering!

Why did you make such an unwarranted/useless comment?

I assume you are a Covid 19 denial expert!

Look at Thailand's lack of infections in the community and recent Country wide lack of restrictions/lockdowns and stop stop your own "denial-mongering".

Random testing agreed, best course of action.

 

Closing 11 schools, total over reaction lacking even an ounce of thought.

What's the betting not one person will be found positive?
