[Jonathan Fairfield]

 

 

The Central Din Daeng and Yingcharoen markets in Bangkok are to be closed from tomorrow (Sunday) until May 21st and May 23rd respectively, after several traders and workers in there were found to be infected with COVID-19.

 

The National Housing Authority’s Nakhon Luang housing office issued the order on Friday, after the Din Daeng district office had been conducting active screening of traders and workers in the market since May 10th and found numerous people testing positive for the disease.

 

The market will be cleaned and disinfected and remain off-limits until it resumes operations.

Covid is everywhere now, and the only real way to get out of this cycle is vaccination.

Over to you Prayut?

Ya know, it's not that easy. Grocery suppliers & market vendors are some of the few jobs still going. And we depend on them for our daily fare at reasonable prices. Market vendors are front-line workers & should be getting vaxxed.

Active screening comes up trumps again......otherwise we'd all just blissfully accept the daily "reported" figures fed to the media.
