Entertainment venues spawn 123 cases in 5 areas of Bangkok

By The Nation

 

 

A total of 123 Covid-19 cases have been detected from clusters at Bangkok entertainment venues, City Hall reported on Friday.

 

Most of the infections were found among staff and customers at two venues – New Jazz Plaza (50) opposite the Mall Thapra in Thonburi district and The Freshy Plaza (47) in Bang Phlat district.

 

The virus spread to four more places that share staff with the two venues.

 

New Jazz Plaza shares staff with Marum Plaza Karaoke, Mr. Club by Marum, and The Villa International club, while The Freshy Plaza shares employees with E-Sarn Kongkaew restaurant.

 

As a result, the cluster has spread to the following five areas of Bangkok:

 

• Bang Phlat district: The Freshy Plaza and E-Sarn Kongkaew restaurant

• Thonburi district: New Jazz Plaza venue and Day Off shop

• Bang Khae district: Marum Plaza Karaoke and Mr. Club by Marum

• Huai Khwang district: The Villa International club and Maldives pub

• Bang Kho Laem district: Happy Fish pub and The Roof Bar bar

 

Among the cluster cases are two medics who treated two individuals who concealed their travel history before testing positive for Covid-19.

 

City Hall officials have disinfected venues linked to the clusters.

It's interesting to watch the human race doing its best to destroy itself. I've long thought that there isn't enough intelligent life on the planet for people to survive in the long term, and the pandemic and the chaotic, ignorant and selfish way it has been handled has provided a test that we've largely failed, with the virus getting stronger and people getting increasingly tired of the restrictions imposed. We are still at the beginning, and the only success so far is in producing a vaccine in record time that a large proportion of the world's population say they won't take. And in Thailand, although it has kept numbers down, it can't give a timescale on when everyone will be immunised. The best they can offer is that they hope - hope - to inject 70% of the population in over a year from now.

All I can make out from that chart is that Jazz is the problem.  ????

What the heck are they doing open.??????

We have a small bar that has been locked up tighter than a drum since 2 January on Govt orders

& checked that it is indeed closed.

Brown envelopes AGAIN ?

Why is Bangkok open and Pattaya closed? They are both high risk areas.
