webfact Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 A Cal-Comp Electronics factory in Phetchaburi province has been closed from today (Friday) for 14 days by its management, after 682 of its 3,300 employees tested positive for COVID-19. Phetchaburi provincial health chief, Dr. Petcharuek Tansawat,said yesterday that health officials are awaiting the test results for about 2,000 other employees.

smedly Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 obviously someone who got sick arrived at a hospital, a bit late now to bring this under control considering 25% of factory workers are now infected and have been spreading CV 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 A proverbial can of Worms has been opened by the Prison Infection leak. Now all eyes are on other overcrowded and poorly managed spaces that people spend time in, such as the Factories. And the outbreaks in these places will not all be down to the Immigrant Workers, as seems to be the case in almost all reports published by the Media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 20 hours ago, Denim said: And they only just discovered this and did testing ? Apparently, the case numbers have more than doubled at this Factory. The government have made a big thing of people who hide their Timeline Etc, with threats of Fines and Prison. Its now time to make an example of these Employers that have allowed their operations to carry on for the sake of profits and share prices. There is no way, that with the number of infected people, the management, and the Owners were not aware they had an issue with Covid. This Companies share price fell over 6 % on the SET Yesterday, and I for one hope it never recovers, and even slides further as large Customers desert them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmonkey Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Thailand is going to suffer hugely because it's society from the roots up is built upon lies and 'face' and people's inability to accept responsibility and accountability. Very sad but its a fact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
