rooster59 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 No need for further lockdowns in Thailand: Anutin Anutin Charnvirakul, file photo Public health minister, Anutin Charnvirakul said that despite the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in northern Thailand, there is no need to implement further lockdowns - either local or national. Speaking on Saturday morning the minister was asked about the COVID-19 situation in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, which has seen an increase in infections after several Thai nationals infected with the virus entered Thailand illegally from neighbouring Myanmar, bypassing the mandatory quarantine requirements. The minister said that precautionary measures are in place and that all provincial hospitals, medical personnel and other relevant agencies are on standby and ready to cope with any emergency. Because of this there is no need to lockdown the country or any provinces, Anutin said. Mr Anutin added that measures will be put in place to facilitate the repatriation of Thai workers in Tachilek in order to try and eliminate more and more people from crossing into the country illegally. Mr Anutin also said that events in the country, particularly over the New Year season should should not be cancelled and should go ahead as planned, He did however say that people should continue to be on their guard regarding COVID-19. Anyone attending such events should be required to wear a mask and have their temperature checked prior to entering the event.

PETERTHEEATER Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 His wrist bracelet made from a string of M&Ms demonstrates that he is just a regular guy in synch with common people. He has pushed aside the plate of smoked salmon and caviar, rejected unhealthy caffeine beverages by inverting the cup to demonstrate his healthy lifestyle. He is just a simple man.

foreverlomsak Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Based on his previous "accurate" predictions there will probably be no lockdowns but be prepared for a) No interprovincial travel in/to/from the north (it's not a lockdown as you can travel within your own province), b) Limits on the size of groups and c) Alcohol ban because it causes people to get together.

DogNo1 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The current issue (Dec. 4th) of a popular American magazine reports COVID surges in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. With the cooler weather in Thailand, large holiday gatherings may just what Thailand doesn't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
