PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has claimed that no COVID-19 patients have escaped any field hospitals in Phuket, but has ramped up the number of security personnel after drugs were found at one of the compounds.

 

“For the news about the patients fleeing from a field hospital that was posted on social media, our police, military officers and relevant officers have checked and found that no patients have fled from any field hospital,” Governor Narong said at a mass assembly of Phuket police gathered at the Phuket Emergency Operation Center at the Phuket Provincial Police headquarters in Phuket Town yesterday (Aug 30).

 

“However, officers found that illegal drugs had been smuggled to patients at one of the field hospitals. We will add more officers standing by at field hospitals and other venues,” Governor said.

So the circus has opened another tent in Phuket, the clown-in-chief's name is the local governor who might want to make up his mind before talking.

Operate brain before mouth - what we were taught in kindergarten back then already ......

How can you lock up people with an addiction, and not expect them to try and escape is ludicrous.

PHUKET: The Governor of Phuket, Narong Woonciew, clarified this morning (Aug 31) that two patients infected with COVID-19 had in fact fled from a quarantine centre situated in Karon, which conflicted with a statement he gave yesterday claiming there had been no escapees.

 

Is this old news or they didn't escape....but then did escape.....but then didn't escape.....I'm lost now.
