webfact Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Entertainment venues carry high risk of Covid-19 transmissions: expert virologist By The Nation Dr Yong Poovorawan Entertainment venues carry the risk of Covid-19 transmissions, Dr Yong Poovorawan, an expert virologist at Chulalongkorn University, warned in a Facebook post on Thursday. He said super-spreader events in entertainment venues had occurred in South Korea, Japan, Western countries and even Thailand. “Entertainment venues are noisy places with confined spaces, so it is not easy to undertake measures to contain the spread of Covid-19, such as maintaining a distance from others and even wearing a face mask,” he pointed out. Dr Yong said Thailand took about two months to contain the spread in entertainment venues and a boxing stadium during the Covid-19 outbreak earlier this year. “Therefore, we would like to ask everyone to be careful so that this does not become an issue again,” he added.

I recently saw a video made by a nurse who works with patients with COVID-19. She reported on how some patients even near death are denying the virus exists. I guess they manage to die virus-free that way. It is real and until people get vaccinated with the proper available vaccine and follow virus prevention guidelines, the death numbers will continue to rise. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaopad999 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Doc Yong might very well be stating the obvious here , but sometimes these very simple reminders need to be heard. I have noticed that many people are not wearing masks like they were a few months ago. Now with these new cases in Chiang Mai i think it's time for people to not let down their guards down, otherwise Thailand could face a national disaster.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 Everyone knows this. So I hope these type of comments aren't the precursor to another lockdown. Given the growing protests, I've wondered if we might get a fresh outbreak of C19 necessitating curfews etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be awful if it happened over Xmas & NY That's why it's important for people to take extra precautions right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the anti government protests spreading. Obviously protecting the people sounds much better than subjugating the people, both domestically and internationally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmySeeker Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Those with bars and clubs who are crying the borders should be open need to be careful for what they wish for. Because if the borders open and the virus returns, the first thing to be closed will be the bars and clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a very big entertainment industry and had very many Chinese tourists. I can't remember that there has been 1 Covid case. Have there been any people with Corona in Pattaya?
