27 placed on high risk watch after COVID-infected man lies about his movements

 

 

A COVID-infected businessman from Myanmar has allegedly given a false statement to health investigators about his movements in Mae Sot district of Thailand’s western border province of Tak, exposing 27 people to the risk of infection.

 

After having verified that the statement given by the Myanmar untrue, Dr. Natthakarn Chuenchom of Mae Sot Hospital said that the district’s health officials have decided to declare areas actually visited by the infected man to be high risk zones, as a precautionary measure.

 

She said that the businessman, who engages in the export of used Japanese cars to Myanmar and has a visa for Thailand,claimed that he went to a 7-Eleven convenience store near the Friendship 1 Bridge several times while in Mae Sot district, but a check of the CCTV system at the store could not confirm his story, prompting officials to declare the store safe.

COVID will continue to get in one way or another regardless of the measures they take.

 

The only reason it's not everywhere is due to the local climate which appears to make it much harder to spread between people - unless they're in a confined space and/or with lots of other people in a large crowd.
