Goods movement between Thailand Cambodia poses severe health risks due to absent disinfectant rules

[geovalin]

Border check points in Battambang, Banteay Meanchey and Oddar Meanchey, including Pailin and Poipet revealed that it remained closed to movement of people in and out, including tourists and other travelers. At most borders, all goods traffic was observed and each vehicle was limited to two people, a driver and an attendant.

 

These two have to leave their vehicles when they approach the Cambodian side of the border and take temperature checks, register their personal particulars, a short trip to the immigration post and are off on their way. However, dangerously and something of grave concern is that on the Cambodian side, there seems to be no efforts to disinfect the vehicles and people besides the temperature checks.

 

On the Thai side, the vehicles were sprayed with disinfectants when they crossed to and from Cambodia but none on the Cambodian side. Officials present at all of the borders declined to comment and referred questions to their head office in the capital.

So-called "disinfection" is health theatre, no help at all.
