BANGKOK (NNT) - The Minister of Public Health has instructed provincial health offices to closely monitor New Year activities in their respective areas.

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said officials are currently conducting investigations after the Omicron coronavirus variant was discovered in a patient who attended an event in Surin province. He emphasized the importance of officials remaining vigilant during the New Year holiday and instructed all provincial public health offices and officials to closely monitor all events and activities. He also warned that any activities that violate regulations will be canceled.

 

The public health minister added that he understands many people would be affected if holiday celebrations are canceled, which is why authorities are allowing activities to take place under strict disease prevention measures. He noted that this could still change depending on the circumstances, though he remained confident that authorities would be able to contain the spread of the Omicron variant with cooperation from the general public.

Good luck with that. Nowhere else seems to have controlled the spread of omicron yet. But of course nowhere else has a Health Minister of Anutin's calibre!

My guess is about Jan. 15 it will be a big big problem.

This sounds a bit  like a  "data gathering" operation.

Said data will later be fed into a  cloud base maintained by those who will plan the  next "Pandemic"?

This worked. This did not work. Resistance levels  averaged at  point  X of implementation .
