PHUKET: Phuket officials are warning people to ignore a notice circulating on social media claiming that 2,000 tourists from six different countries who arrived in Thailand under the Phuket Sandbox scheme have tested positive for COVID-19.

 

The warning posted by officials is branded openly as, “Fake news, don’t share!”

 

“The Anti-Fake News Center has checked the facts with the Phuket Provincial Public Relations Office and found that such information is false information,” said the notice, posted online over the weekend.

Thanks for sharing!!

Sounds like another batch of dodgy chinese test kits

[ChrisY1]

Then to clear it up....how many were forced to stay in quarantine hotels just after their arrival?

One positive passenger on an inbound flight would render many people on the same flight to move to a hotel....not of their choice...no refunds from their pre planned resorts...and charge Thb 52000 for the pleasure......Was there a scam?

As nearly all the news is fake wouldn't it be easier if they just pointed out the news that's true?
