Were the ladies sent to IDC? Illegal crossing are also a crime. even if u r a citizen . or may be thai laws were made only to harass /threaten/extort foreigners. I have heard/read how foreigners are threatened with IDC bangkok when they overstay by a day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government performs the posh dog and pony show of quarantining tourists, in a vain attempt to protect their dream of rebooting the tourism cash cow, while the cheap labor machinery continues to import thousands of workers without so much as a temperature check. Minimum wage? Social insurance? Well, that simply defeats the purpose now doesn't it? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JomtienExile Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 hour ago, than said: In order to prevent the arrival of a more virulent strain of the virus, the Thai authorities should also follow the example of the countries of the European Union and prohibit the access of the kingdom to the English citizen Are there in fact any flights allowed from the UK at present?

webfact Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 382 new Covid-19 cases found, most of them linked to Samut Sakhon outbreak By The Nation There were 382 new Covid-19 cases following active testing of migrant workers in Samut Sakhon province, and in quarantine facilities, over a 24-hour period, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) reported on Monday. Most of the cases (360) were migrant workers in Samut Sakhon, there were 14 domestic cases in Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Prakan, Bangkok and Tak provinces, while seven Thais and a foreigner tested positive in quarantine. The new cases in quarantine facilities included one Thai, who had returned from the United Kingdom, three from the United States, one from United Arab Emirates, one from Ukraine, one from Kuwait, and a Sudanedese woman had travelled from her country. Most of the domestic cases reported on Monday were linked to the Samut Sakhon outbreak in a shrimp market, except an asymptomatic beautician, 29, in Ayutthaya and a Myanmar cashier, 42, in Mae Sot district of Tak province. Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, the spokesperson for the CCSA, revealed that more than 2,600 people were awaiting results of their tests and many more were waiting to be tested. A field hospital will be opened in Samut Sakhon with 100 beds for patients with severe symptoms to facilitate and treat workers, including providing food and necessities. The idea was inspired by Singapore which faced rising number of cases involving migrant workers. A health officer reportedly said more than a thousand customers of the seafood markets in Samut Sakhon were to be tested. He also asked for cooperation from Myanmar to tell their people to take a virus test for free and remain confined in specific areas to stop the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, 12 patients have recovered and been discharged. The total number of confirmed cases in Thailand increased to 5,289 (1,373 in state quarantine), 1,176 are undergoing treatment in hospitals, 4,053 have recovered and been discharged and 60 have died. According to Worldometer, as of 10am on Monday, the total number of confirmed cases had increased to 77.14 million (up by 532,471), 55 million have recovered, 21.38 million are active cases (106,202 in severe condition) and 1.7 million have died (up by 7,832). Thailand ranks 150th for most cases in the world, while the US has the most number with 18.26 million, followed by India 10.05 million, Brazil 7.24 million, Russia 2.85 million and France 2.47 million. Dr Taweesin said that a meeting between officers from the Public Health Ministry and the prime minister on Monday morning discussed new criteria for ordering of lockdowns for provincial governors to use when required. Dr Vicharn Pawan, a specialist at the Disease Control Department, reported at the CCSA daily conference on the latest situation in Samut Sakhon where the Central Shrimp Market and nearby areas have emerged as the source of the outbreak. So far 821 positive cases have been found with links to Samut Sakhon. In other provinces, there are three cases in Samut Prakan, three in Saraburi, two in Bangkok and two in Nakhon Pathom (2). Of the total, 788 active cases have been found in the Myanmar community and nearby areas. The operation has tested 4,688 people both Thais and foreigners and results have been available of 1,861. There were 33 more cases of patients who had travelled to the market and had close contact with recently reported cases. This group went to hospitals on their own to be tested. He urged people who had visited the Central Shrimp Market or risk areas in Samut Sakhon since December 1 to take a test for free or call DDC 1422 for advice. He urged people to stay vigilant and not panic due to the high numbers. He said Thailand's health response systems are doing their jobs well.

brommers Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This is an indictment of a lax enforcement of inward travel restrictions or even complicity by the authorities in enabling these hundreds of virus carriers' entry to Thailand. And will engine be investigated, nah. Will anyone be held to account, nah. Because this incompetent excuse for a government is more interested in riding trains, or participating in other time wasting activities than in actually running the country. And once again it is ordinary people to who pay the price of such neglect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 There is no known connection between the outbreak in the Samut Sakorn seafood market (which has led to infections elsewhere as people travel to and from that market from other parts of the country) and the much smaller cluster of cases linked to returnees from casinos in the far north. And no reason to expect there to be. What both likely have in common is origin from people illegally entering from Myanmar. But different people entering at different places on that very long border. And probably at different times as from the numbers positive the virus likely arrived in Samut Sakhon earlier than the casino worker incident. You don't sneak across in the border in the far north to work in Samut Sakhon, makes no sense when there are plenty of closer places to cross. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Phulublub said: It is not the Thai education that is lacking, but your own. See the start of the sentence? "Of the new cases...". So they have identified the origin of 368 of the newly discovered infections, while a further 14 are yet to be determined. But don't let your smugness get in the way of your unnecessary Thai bashing. PH This is the full story initially posted with no links (underlinded). Where does it say 14 yet to be confirmed. New cases plus 8 imported. Thai health officials on Monday confirmed 382 new COVID-19 cases. Of the new cases, 360 were local transmissions, linked to the outbreak in Samut Sakhon, while 8 were imported from overseas. No new deaths were reported, while a further 12 people have been discharged from hospital. Monday’s cases brings the total number of COVID-19 cases in Thailand to 5,289 Edited December 21, 2020 by dinsdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlwilliamsjr18 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Very concerning, that a laissez-faire attitude has led to this. Hopeful, is key but immediate action and deep introspective research is needed. It's no coincidence that viruses thrive in fresh markets, even among humans.

Thailand has handled the so called pandemic . Look at the situation in other countries .I'm English living in Thailand. In the South of England a new variant of CV has come to light which has 70% more penetration and is running out of control.. UK was late in implementing processor measures.More then likely the people at the top thought it was more of less a temporally illness ,how wrong they were. Thailand was already wearing masks due to the bad air conditions well before the Virus so it was nothing to. fall in line with government instrutions. Well done Thais people . It's water droplets from one's speech which is transmitted into the surrounding air.. So if everyone wears a mask no problem 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is do massive tests to check the how many are actually infected. Else, just focus on those with symptoms and live with the virus until vaccine comes. They do tests with all the people who came in contact with the infected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want a vaccine, which "may" prevent one strain (like the early flu injections), but no longer term studies on efficacy, side effects, (being done now as hundreds of thousands are vaccianted) and mutant strains coming on fast,. I'm not so sure myself, jury out for me. I reckon within 36 hour( depending on testing numbers)infection number will be over 1600, given close living conditions, general hygiene conditions, one thing that masks are accepted, but they can also be a problem due to improper usage affecting efficacy, and social distancing adherence Edited December 21, 2020 by RJRS1301 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
