Quarantined at border: Recruitment agencies to suspend sending workers to Thailand until further notice

[geovalin]

Strict border restrictions imposed on Sunday have led to 543 Cambodians being placed under 14-day quarantine at the three main border crossings – O’Smach, Doung, and Poipet. They were ferried to the quarantine sites by 23 military trucks.

 

Le Chansangvath, director of Banteay Meanchey provincial health department, said 310 migrant workers came through Poipet International Border checkpoint yesterday, and all of them went into quarantine. He said that 46 of them had their samples taken for testing.

 

Khlok Huot, director of Oddar Meanchey provincial health department, said the first batch of 172 Cambodian migrant workers arrived at the O’Smach International Border Checkpoint at about 11am and were transported by military trucks to Samraong city for the mandatory 14-day quarantine. Another 22, who arrived in the latter part of the day, were also taken to their respective quarantine centres after the initial health checks.

If you haven't reached herd immunity the next best thing is to herd people around like cattle or sheeple.

So a recruitment agency is sending people to work but previously they were not tested or quarantined?

I want to know why these thousands of Myanmar people were not put into quarantine when they arrived. They don't have the money to spend on ASQ, and neither do the employers. IT IS HIGH TIME LAW ENFORCEMENT DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM OF CHEAP LABOUR FROM MYANMAR AND PAID DECENT WAGES TRO UNEMPLOYED THAIS.

I don't understand this, isn't quarantine mandatory for every entrant?
