Visit from Covid-19 patient forces shop to close for deep clean, staff quarantined

By THE NATION

 

 

Cosmetics shop EveAndBoy announced it was closing its Siam Square One branch for a day on Tuesday after learning that a Covid-19 patient had reportedly visited the shop on December 14.

 

In a Facebook statement posted on Tuesday morning, it said the branch in Bangkok’s downtown Siam area was being closed for a deep clean.

 

Meanwhile, all members of staff at the branch will be tested for the virus and quarantined for 14 days. It is believed the Siam Square One branch will be run by another set of staff.

 

The announcement said the remaining 13 branches of EveAndBoy will operate as usual, adding that it has implemented stricter measures to check on customers at all its shops.

 

The Covid-19 patient who visited Siam Square One complex on December 14 was a 49-year-old restaurant owner. She was in the complex from 6pm to 9pm and was found to be infected on Monday.

How many other shops at Siam Square did this 49 year old restaurant owner visit?

Amazing how much damage, one person does when they spread this virus, or actually

when they spread any disease that affects others.  Most people tho,   go through life.

blissfully unaware of what or how they affect others around them.

   Remember Ebola,  how would that be if it had spread as badly as this virus has 

spread,  Huh?

From a 'virus point of view' Ebola was a very unsuccessful species as it quickly led to the death of its host.  Successful viruses are the ones that keep their hosts alive and use them as spring-boards to multiply and flourish in other hosts (like the flu).

Yes, it's called 'living' and that's how it is supposed to be in any normal society.

Social distancing - or rather asocial distancing - is an abomination of life.
