The first was at Quality Pineapple that remains largely sealed off in the Hin Lek Fai area. Now 42 cases were confirmed by the Prachuap Khiri Khan health authorities at Dole Thailand Co Ltd in Nong Plap after proactive testing. The outbreak started after one foreign employee was infected by someone from the Quality factory on May 8th. Picture: Prachuap Khiri Khan radio Dole has 3,800 employees - among these are 1,375 from Myanmar and 2,420 Thais.

Infected people have been taken to hospitals while decisions on what to do with the rest of the workforce continue. The authorities said the situation was "under control". -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-26 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Nothing to see here folks, move along, we have it all under control. 11 minutes ago, webfact said: Infected people have been taken to hospitals while decisions on what to do with the rest of the workforce continue.

Waiting to see what action is truly being undertaken......The world needs it's canned pineapple, and Dole is one of the best.

"It's under control" Two Workers from different Pineapple Processing Plants... Are we to assume that Pineapple is now Officially a Carrier of Covid 19? Maybe we should check new affectie's to see if they have eaten any Pineapple in last 24 hrs...... Might just be a Thai in there somehow connect'd ???? ????????

But, but , but, the Quality Factory was supposed to be locked down. And if this was the root cause, then the Infection has been in the "Dole Plant " for 17 Days before being found and reported. Great testing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it will have spread to many more people during this time. We haven't heard the last of this little outbreak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Of course it is under control, as it is only going to be another cluster, and it seems that Thailand is becoming the land of clusters. Good luck with all of you getting your 2 shots of vaccines. I hope that by next year when I show up, the majority of Thais and expats and the illegal aliens are all vaccinated with the COVID vaccines.
