PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew inspected workers’ camps across the island yesterday (July 28) to see the disease control measures in effect at each camp following 13 workers at a camp in Patong testing positive, prompting officials to place the camp under one-month ‘Bubble and Seal’ isolation.

 

Joining Governor Narong to inspect a workers camp on site at a waterpark under construction in Kathu were Kathu District Chief Trithip Sakulpradit and officers from the Office of Disease Prevention and Control Region 11, based in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, reported the Phuket office of the Public Relations Department (PR Phuket).

 

Wanna Sangtuang, the company staffer responsible for managing the camp, told officials that there are 450 workers currently staying on site, including Myanmar nationals and Cambodians.

yet another case of blame the migrant when it is clear there is community spread in Phucket amongst the Thai population

[chilly07]

What a waste of vast nos of Vaccines. This was never going to work. Why are there worker Camps on Plague Island. Havnt they learnt anything from Bangkok?

[hotchilli]

Phuket is slowly but surely going pear-shaped, followed by Samui and then on to Kho Tao..

who in the hell is going to come on holiday when this hits the news?

Chicken brains running the island. Camps are breeding grounds for the Chinese Virus clusters. How in this world they can allow this is a Sandbox program ? Nobody needs this f*** water park for the next 5 years to come. Only in Thailand where stupidity rules.

Nonsense, plenty of Thai workers there as well. They're simply isolating an infected area, makes sense to me.

the use of the word migrant tells all no matter what you think is nonsense

Having successfully navigated the covid ravaged UK for 18 months needing no tests or knowing anyone that's been infected the sandbox should be a breeze touch wood I think maybe probably it will wont it ????

Maybe you should distinguish between immigrant and migrant. In the op the talk is about migrants, not immigrants.

So yes, your post was totally nonsense.

Yes please.

 

See your post, first you're chastigating the government for isolating a migrant camp, then you're drawing the conclusion they're not blaming the Thai population.

So yes, you're very much confusing migrant and immigrant.
