webfact Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Laos temporarily bans Thai seafood By The Nation Laos has temporarily banned the import of fresh and frozen seafood from Thailand after a new wave of Covid-19 infections erupted from Samut Sakhon’s seafood market. Laos’s Industry and Commerce Ministry made the decision on Wednesday to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the country. The new measure is temporary and will stay in effect until both countries can confirm the products are safe and coronavirus-free. Laos has increased awareness of the Covid-19 situation in Thailand and prepared a host of quarantine sites since Tuesday.

Dumbastheycome Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 52 minutes ago, bluesofa said: Ah, fair enough. There is some suspicion about frozen or refrigerated food packaging potentially harboring the virus. Other than China claiming they have detected it on packaging I have not seen any overall confirmation but it is accepted as possible. Eating food that may have it in/on is not considered a risk. https://theconversation.com/could-frozen-food-transmit-covid-19-148735 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far nobody seems to be afraid with the guys transporting stuff coming from Myammar there is hundred (Thousands?) of trucks going through the border everyday, Myamar being the main road for all the merchandises coming from India and China to Thailand and Cambodia maybe they are confined\quarantined in their cabin truck all the way long ? Just curious... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... There have been reports every now and then of trucks drivers from Myanmar testing positive. I think they're given a limited period of entry, maybe 7 hours I seem to remember? I'm not sure if it's random testing or they test all of them. Edited December 24, 2020 by KhaoNiaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
