PHUKET: Officials responsible for safeguarding the field hospital set up at the Prince of Songkla University (PSU) Phuket campus in Kathu are conducting a full check of the patients being kept there after some of them were seen fleeing the COVID-care facility yesterday (Aug 29).

 

Dr Kusak Kukiattikoon, Chief of the Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO), confirmed that he learned of patients fleeing the field hospital only today after one of the doctors providing care for the COVID-19 infected patients there reported it.

 

“We need to check how many patients have fled the hospital and where they have gone so that we can catch them and bring them back to the hospital. I will report this to superior officers,” Dr Kusak said.

You know, when I'm ill I tend to not feel like doing anything, never mind 'fleeing'

Maybe they had the runs......

[RichardColeman]

I guess now you cannot do drugs and have sex it's not so much fun !

[inThailand]

Is that any worse than fleeing from an accident?

Just mark them down as recovered , sorted, everyone saves face and makes the daily figures look good.

[tompelli]

I thought patients in field hospitals were under medical observation? If they can do a runner, surely they could also die without anyone noticing? All show, no substance.

[hotchilli]

Maybe the menu wasn't up to par?

[ChipButty]

They must have thought they would be safer in the workers camps 

[trainman34014]

Normal 'Thainess'; run away from anything requiring some sort of responsibility !

[Sydebolle]

Shackles and chains then - do not forget the orange jumpers too ..........

What a fare; are they at all aware that the internet and its content is also accessible OUTside Thailand? What do the "dirty farang", the "alien" and the "sandboxians" think about the medical litterboxes with holes in the fences? 

[brianthainess]

RTN security works well then.

Ummm.  Correct me if I am wrong - but these people are patients, not prisoners.

If I was infected, but asymptomatic, I too would want to flee (to my home to self isolate) rather than be admitted to one of these hospitels.

Probably the vast majority are not very ill or have the virus but are symptomless.

I wouldn't like being locked up for 14 days  in those conditions and having not committed any crime either.

It's them pesky Burmese again

Yeah not prisoners just patients, remind me please which migrant worker camp was it that was surrounded with barbed wire and guards?

Agreed it did have a familiar look to it.

[Cake Monster]

if the Authorities cannot even keep a few Thais under observation from doing a runner, what chance have they got to observe Tourists for Covid when they arrive.

Patients don't escape and get rounded up / sent back, that's what you do to prisoners....

 

Of course they're not allowed to return home to isolate because their freedom has been revoked = they're prisoners.

[Stargeezr]

Maybe they only went into the forest to have some wild activity, then returned to their beds in the field hospital.

   After all, no hanky panky allowed in the field hospital, right?  just my thoughts as it looks like a young couple.
