No COVID-19 contamination has been found in chicken meat at poultry processing plants or fresh markets in Thailand so far, said the Livestock Department Sunday.

 

The department’s statement, which stated that 2,251 samples have been tested, comes as a poultry processing plant, belonging to the CPF Company in Thailand’s central province of Saraburi, was closed after 245 of its workers tested positive for the virus.

 

Random swab tests have been conducted in areas connected to those infected and no trace of the coronavirus has been found, according to the department.

Near  20% jump in price on Saturday at Makro I assume due to the closure.

Chicken can only be contaminated by SARS, but not by Covid19 which scientifically called SARS-CoV-2

Heading south I would imagine.

Well, next thing to test might be "Somtam" - but the testing samples may not be eaten; like the raw chicken! 

Tastes like chicken

 

will probably need adjustment?

 

 

Assuming that any location, where there are a lot of people within close proximity of each other for more than 30 minutes, remains unaffect by COVID is foolish.

 

 

OK, let's get those schools open double-time.

I would suspect the Chinese will want more reassurance that the meat is not contaminated than just a few empty words.

The same will also go for the rest of Thailands Chicken Importers. 

We only need the feet throw the rest of the carcass away. 

Looking at that photo, I'm sure glad I'm a vegetarian!
