Two people in Kamphaeng Phet province have tested positive for Covid-19 after travelling to Samut Sakhon, a hotspot of current infections, governor Chaowalit Saeng-uthai said on Tuesday.

 

“One patient is a 43-year-old male, a resident of Khlong Khlung district,” he said. “He works as a truck driver delivering seafood between Samut Sakhon markets and Talad Thai and normally has two Myanmar workers on board with him.”

 

Chaowalit said the patient had travelled to Samut Sakhon from December 6 to 19 and was tested on December 21 following Public Health Ministry recommendations.

 

“The test came back positive on December 22 even though the man did not have any symptoms, so he was placed in isolation at Khlong Khlung Hospital,” Chaowalit said.

 

The other patient is also a 43-year-old male, from Khanuworaluckburi district. He went to Thalay Thai market in Samut Sakhon between December 4 and 18 and was tested on December 21 at Khanuworaluckburi Hospital. He was found positive but showed no symptoms and was placed in isolation at the hospital.

 

“Officials have traced and tested 17 persons who came into close contact with the two patients, five test results have come back negative while the rest are still awaiting their results,” Chaowalit added.

Very soon, maybe Friday, I think there is a cabinet meeting later tomorrow 24/12, ????we get let off but the way things are going I highly doubt it. ????????

But but but both the PM and the Health Minister have been saying for week and months now that Covid is under control.

It's heading that way... but will the PM do it at this festive time of year, New Year coming up with billions to be made with the "lets share together" bargains over the holiday period.

Or will he turn the resorts into ghost towns, banning Xmas and New Year... damned if he does & damned if he doesn't... nice to see him squirm

.

But my money is on him saying the responsibility lays with city governors to make a localisd decision.

Then he has an opt-out later and can blame someone else.

The unelected "PM" seems to tell more lies than proper politicians, I see a lot of the UKs Blair and Brown in him.
