BANGKOK (NNT) - According to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), there have been complaints about activities in violation of the emergency decree, 127 of which are related to gambling and eight are about violating disease-control measures.

 

Following a raid last week on a party on Koh Samui, off the coast of Surat Thani province, authorities later found that two people at the party tested positive to COVID-19, and the incident has put other party-goers and officials at risk of contracting the virus.

 

Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has directed officials to conduct an investigation and tighten their measures, as the incident is in violation of the emergency decree.

 

Gen. Prayut was informed that police in many parts of the country have raided parties and other events where alcoholic drinks were available, and other vices were being participated in.

 

These activities put people at risk of contracting COVID-19. They are also in violation of the emergency decree, which has put a ban on activities that contribute to its spread.

 

The Prime Minister has instructed related units, including the Royal Thai Police and provincial and local administrations, to work in an integrated manner to help stem the spread of COVID-19 and inspect venues where people often hold gatherings and engage in various vices.

 

Legal action will be taken against offenders, while law enforcers who fail to perform their duties properly, including those who allow such activities to take place, will be penalized.

 

The government is urging members of the public to act as additional eyes and ears and report activities, such as these gatherings, to relevant agencies.

 

They are advised to avoid activities that can increase the spread of COVID-19. Their cooperation will help reduce the number of new COVID-19 cases as well as the workload of medical workers, who have been working tirelessly for a long time.

Remarkably well informed for a newcomer. Welcome.

yet thonglor cluster<deleted>, the second government house, from where the 3rd wave originated, is long swept under the carpet. Non of many cabinet ministers were even reprimanded. 

All they did they blamed their drivers for whoring. And went for incommunicado isolation for many weeks

Legend: much more polite than a "sonorous object" end.

Are there still parties somewhere? Everything is closed here. Boredom has arrived and even the most loyal Thailand fans are starting to plan their departure. Mexico and southern Europe are their new destinations for the coming months.

Maybe  directly indirectly specifically "those annoying  protestors !" ?

Heinous crimes.... 

Ah the PM has stated  that any Law Enforcers found breaking the law will be prosecuted, which means in effect, if not caught okay carry on as they have done for decades.

It says that you don't really understand how RT-PCR works.

So the tea drinking PM has 100 days until November, then what is he going to do for

the start of Thailand's High Season?  Is the evil alcohol ban going to still be in effect?

Will all the rules and restrictions, and forms and ASQ hotels still going to be the only way into

Thailand?  Good Luck with High Season great leader.

Geezer

I wondered why there is a SWAT team camped around Krystal in Bangkok.

I hope Prayuth also tells officials to prevent violations of human rights... like killing a suspect in custody for example...
