webfact Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 More than 1,000 prisoners in the Zone 6 maximum security sector of the prison in Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat have been infected with COVID-19, 396 of whom have developed symptoms. Prison officials told Thai PBS that they have no idea how the infections started, but said that only officials are allowed into Zone 6, where prisoners serving a minimum of 30 years and those on death row are housed. To prevent further spread among prisoners, the occupational training building is being used to quarantine and treat symptomatic inmates with the Favipiravir anti-viral drug and Fah Talai Jone Thai traditional herbal medicine, while the low-risk prisoners are being separately kept.

So, they got it from officials and guards then but don't want to admit it. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 No doubt most of these will have been via ATK so won't show up in the official covid case count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 and like someone already said this will not show in the daily Covid numbers. If people have the App then you must know who visited the prison and can start checking them, also the guards and their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the story that all Prisoners across the Country had been Vaccinated was not exactly correct then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
