Can participants of Annual General Meeting (Condomium) be required to wear a mask?

[fvw53]

We had in our Condominium an annual general meeting as required by Thai Condo act 2008

The Committee requested the participants to wear a mask but some co-owners refused and they created discomfort within the majority of the co-owners.

Free masks were made available to everybody.

This kind meeting can be a super spreader of COVID-19 but could refusal of entry by co-owners without mask make the AGM illegal?

What does Thai Law say about this?

As there was no quorum there will be a follow up meeting within 2 weeks...

The law does not say anything about masks and General meeting.

Sounds like a stupid problem to have, inconsiderate Co-owners, sadly i think its one you are going to have to simply reason with them, but they dont sound the type to be reasoned with. Glad i don't live in a Condo like that.

Not sure if the Juristic Manager could take action based on safety and omit them from the meeting.

If it escalates they are the ones who will look stupid.

 

Could you not compromise and have the sitting separately?

 I think that the chairman with the support of the  committee and the JPM can make the decision that the attendees have to   wear  a mask.

 

However -this decision must be communicated.

Notice of the meeting -in the lift(s)-Notice board etc. etc.

Simply vote on it.
