The people were the fourth group of returnees to Mae Sot during the latest spread of COVID-19. They traveled on two government vehicles to quarantine.

bluesofa Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I see it doesn't specify whether the 50 returnees had originally left Thailand officially (as opposed to sneaking out over the border). I do notice the TNA article says: "Of the 157 new cases, 90 were locally infected, 42 were confirmed through active case finding, 21 sneaked in and four were quarantined arrivals." It appears that after tightening the border for some time now, people are still able to 'sneak in'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of it they could likely march across with a brass band and not be noticed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got as much chance of noticing as a gastric band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
