Rangsit Uni staff, students in lockdown after Covid scare

By The Nation

 

 

Rangsit University students and staff have been ordered to self-isolate after one of its students was found to have travelled in the same public van as a returnee from Myanmar who later tested positive for Covid-19.

 

The university, located in Phatum Thani just north of Bangkok, revealed the timeline of the student: 

 

1. On November 29, the student spent two hours (1pm-3pm) in the same van as the Covid-19 case while returning to his/her hometown in Ratchaburi. 

 

2. On December 2, the student attended class at the university from midday to 5pm. He/she visited the second storey of Building 12/1 and the Student Affairs Office on the second storey of Building 14.

 

The university said the student is currently self-isolating at his/her residence to monitor symptoms.

 

"The university has urged all students and staff who came into contact with this student to self-isolate at their residence, said Rangsit University authorities. “Meanwhile all areas that the student visited have been disinfected.”

Covid can not come here, Anutin and the rest of the Government have claimed it is all under control.  I guess the students will be doing on-line education now.  Wonder how long until the true and real fallout is felt. I wonder how many of us expats may have traveled unknowingly in some public conveyance that these women may have been on.  Hopefully they did not hit the MRT or BTS system, that would just be a true super spreader event.

Thankfully I'm nowhere near these dirty Thais.
