Transport of goods between Myanmar and Tak province temporarily halted

 

 

The Governor of Thailand’s northwestern province of Tak has ordered a temporary halt to all movement of goods across the border with Myanmar, from today until October 25th, in order to stem the possible spread of COVID-19 from Myanmar.

 

The temporary measure was imposed by Governor Pongrat Piromrat after three Myanmar truckers, and three members of a family of Myanmar migrant workers living in a Muslim community in Mae Sot district, were found to be infected with COVID-19.

 

The Thoong Thong community in Mae Sot, where five infections were recorded, has been placed under 24-hour watch by village guards, who check the body temperatures of everyone entering and exiting the location.

So after 25th the risk will have passed?

Ah mythical Thailand that allowed chinese from the pandemic hotspot even after it was recognised around the world and Trump had halted flights from the area, Thailand surrounded by land bordered countries on all sides who have outbreaks, trade flowing in from those countries and The Thai People are virus free and only dirty foreigners have it. Some sort of dumb to believe this..
