Pub in Bangkok closed as owner tests positive for Covid-19

By The Nation

 

 

The owner of Memory 90's, a pub on Lasalle Road in Bangkok's Bangna district, said he was infected with Covid-19.

 

 

In a Facebook post on Saturday, he said that the restaurant was being closed, while employees were instructed to undergo 14 days of quarantine.

 

"My Covid-19 test showed positive in the morning and I don't know which customer spread the virus, so I would like to ask customers who visited the pub from December 21-31 to undergo self-quarantine and monitor their health," he said.

 

He added that the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration would announce his case on Sunday.

Gambling much?

Well, I can surely see all those patrons for the 11 nights mentioned happily quarantining themselves for the next fortnight to selflessly protect the community. Like when Thais park a car or motorbike and block others in so they can walk a shorter distance to 7Eleven, or play loud music, or numerous other things.

I would bet than less than 2% of those who actually find out that they were in the pub on those nights will quarantine for 14 days.

Leaving aside that he's blaming a mystery customer for infecting him, I'd say kudos to him for making his infection public, so that others who have been there can get tested.

 

Too many times we get to read articles like "a pub in the Bangna area" and we're none the wiser!

How many percent of the foreigners do you think would self quarantine ? 

The whole self quarantine is of course a farce. Nobody foreigners or Thais are willing to do that. I might as i work from home. But if you have a job you loose income plus not going out for 14 days is a punishment too.

 

I get it that its the only way but not many would be willing to do it. They should test the people in that went to the pub but i doubt they can trace them. 

It would help if Thai Visa mentioned the Pubs name, not to criticize but in case we have been there

It is an article from The Nation reproduced here, not written here.

Well he definitely caught it from someone, odds are it was one of his customers, the 100's of people he meets on a daily basis.

it is a Thai bar and club, not a pub. 

 

no Farangs. 

7 more days and we are all in full lockdown again.

Which is a good thing...
