In total there are 402 being quarantined and treated in the factory from 7th to 20th of this month. 

 

A restaurant area has been converted into a field hospital.

 

There are 5-10 new cases of Covid per day emerging at the factory.

The media reported that 100 of the Myanmar workers quarantined could not be housed at the factory due to lack of space and they were put in a luxury hotel in the downtown area of Hua Hin.

 

They have since been moved to the Rajamangala University of Technology in the area of Klai Kangwon. They were not infected with Covid.

 

It remains to be seen if regulations were broken in this matter , said the media, who indicated there had been considerable consternation when the news broke that quarantined people from Myanmar were being housed offsite of the factory in the town.

I guess the hotel manager just arrived back from vacation and said '<deleted>'! I just hope they managed to grab the soap and shampoo, and of course a quick raid on the mini-bar before their relocation.
