There are three new Covid-19 patients in Mae Sot district of Tak province, taking the total number of cases in the district to five, provincial Governor Pongsarat Piromrat said in Saturday.

 

 

The three new patients are family members ofa Myanmar couple, who were reported early in the morning as being infected with the virus.

 

The province has already stepped up screening measures at the communities near their house and has ordered the closure of some nearby schools for one week. Screening checkpoints also been been set up in districts bordering Mae Sot.

Possibly the tip of the iceberg.  Allowing Myanmar truck drivers to enter Thailand was not a good idea...not that I am assuming that's how the others were infected.

Stop it!

Flagrantly going around testing people is a serious threat to Thailand's glorious Covid-free reputation.

FYI.  The medical authorities have never said Thailand was CV19 free.  They routinely admit it's still out there.  But because of lack of testing, they aren't known.  And in low numbers just waiting for a chance to rage again.

And now open for Chinese tourists Crazy

“ordered the closure of some nearby schools for one week” 

OTT reaction and total disregard for children’s education.

Should Thailand keep their borders closed forever? 

 

Covid-19 is not going to magically disappear even when a vaccine is ready, so when is a good time to reopen? 

Close the borders and stop all foreigners coming in, even on flights in 3... 2... 1...

That depends on the results given to the public... seems strange that thus far every test conducted after a domestic infection there is never anyone else found.

Very strange. Almost as if there might be some sort of agenda at play ...

I guess Thailand has not a big problem with Covid-19 Thailand has a bigger

problem with Prayut-20

I'll have to look up the symptoms of this Wuhan China virus.  This morning I woke up hot and sweaty and I have a sore willy.  I asked the wife how she felt and she said "Tired but feeling good".
