Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed the national police chief, Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk, to use the Communicable Disease Act against those who are infected with COVID-19 and intentionally withhold information about their movements from health officials.

 

The prime minister has assured the police chief that they are empowered to take legal action against such people, with health officials initiating the complaints.

 

The prime minister’s instruction came in the wake of a cluster of over a dozen infections, mostly in the entertainment business, who attended the birthday party of “DJ Matoom”, held at a five-star hotel on Sathorn Road in Bangkok.

I'm telling no one where I defecate.

Will that includes cats, who tend to bury their movements?

does that include that Government Official?:

 

Case 658 was identified as a male government official who neglected to give information for January 10-12 and January 14-21. He is thought to have caught Covid-19 at a January 16 party linked with DJ Matoom's birthday bash.

How about using the law to prosecute police who aid and abet illegal gambling dens to operate and actually provide slot machines?

Instead of just transfers?
