Public Health Minister confirms effectiveness of anti-COVID-19 measures on Samui

 

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - After a foreign tourist tested positive for COVID-19 on Samui Island, Surat Thani province, the Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, has assured the public that the government’s public health measures are effective and people can visit the island as usual.

 

Mr. Anutin urged people to have confidence in the public health measures, and that Samui is still a safe destination for tourists.

 

However, the Public Health Minister expressed concern about the ongoing political rallies, as they might pose a risk of COVID-19 transmission. Social distancing has not been strictly implemented. Demonstrators are advised to wear protective masks.

 

He instructed the Department of Medical Services to provide face masks, alcohol-based sanitizers and to set up medical tents at protest sites.

How convenient to bring that into the equation.

You might have noticed, despite numerous, well attended protests against your lot, the Thai Covid figures remain the same !

never-ending series of idiot chapters from this guy

"However, the Public Health Minister expressed concern about the ongoing political rallies, as they might pose a risk of COVID-19 transmission. Social distancing has not been strictly implemented."

They always roll this quote out despite insisting on the other hand that Thailand is covid free with no local transmission, it's one or the other, cannot be both.

[TheFishman1]

More BS TIT

[Dialemco]

Believe students demonstrating as many of them fear they will not have suitable job opportunities after they graduate which is not being helped owing economic recession owing covid. Thailand's economy was already declining before Covid both in respect of exports and tourism as they now have competing bordering counties so must change to make Thailand much more attractive to foreign investors and tourists including economic incentives

Go and spend your money there . It is still safe .

Dear Mr. Anutin , you are a champion in making U-turns . Nobody can reverse the direction you are going as fast as you can do .

You are a hansum man ... can be a comedian or actor easily ... but , I forgot , you are already ...

Yet some ministers, ex ministers and their wives are telling yellow shirts to protest and hold political rallies.

[Srikcir]

From the perspective of English, only a vaccine is an anti-covid measure, ie., stop infection. What the Minister is confirming is the effectiveness of covid-19 "counter measures", ie., avoid infection. Thailand does not yet have a vaccine.

As if he'd say otherwise, however what's his comment about a quarantine facility not being kept up to hygiene standards?

[Bim Smith]

Shame he doesn't follow that advice when he was a guest at the Embassy of Ireland last month. Check out their Facebook page.

Have you not noticed... he has immunity from everything.

[khunkarl]

I'm astonished that they insist to call this woman a French tourist. She is a Thai/French citizen with dual citizenship. Are they deliberately trying to ruin their own tourism by insisting to report this as a French tourist when it's in reality a returning Thai with her family?

I as business owner can assure that the covid-19 measures in Koh samui are working.

The island is dead. for the past 8 months and we are entering the 9th. This government has done nothing for us. No relief package, no help what so ever.

Come and invest in Thailand and the government will not help or support you.

They have succeeded in scaring the local people of Covid-19. 

A bunch of idiots sitting at high positions. total incompetent.!!

Covid-19 might not be the major fear from the protest rallies, but above mentioned is indeed a positive gesture...

[Paiman]

There is a reason, why politicians are at the bottom of the list of trusted professions.

 

If the money is right, he step forward tomorrow and say Soi dogs are deployed Rescue dogs be the government.

I fear there is a "spike" coming!

[Oldie]

I hadn't thought that this could be a problem with the Covid case on Koh Samui.  But after that reassuring statement from him, I'm worried ...
