snoop1130 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 As air pollution from PM2.5 dust and forest fire smoke in Chiang Mai has exceeded the safety level, with the problem likely to get worse, Governor Nirat Pongsitthavorn sought cooperation from both the private and public sectors yesterday, by allowing their staff to work from home today (Friday). In the official request, the private and government sectors were asked to allow their staff to work from home, if doing so would not adversely affect public services or ability of companies to continue doing business. Both the private and public sectors are advised to hold meetings through teleconferences. The public sector was also asked to consider opening dust-free facilities for members of the public Full Story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/chiang-mai-governor-asks-employers-to-allow-staff-to-work-from-home/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-04-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

brommers Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The governor is playing games with the lives of people. It is his indolence and incompetence that has contributed to this crisis. WFH is no solution because the air in workplaces is often better than in the house, especially of lower income families who cannot afford the capital cost of an air purifier not the electricity cost to run one. It seems the main qualification needed to be governor of Chiang Mai is to be "intellectually challenged" and this governor is supremely well equipped for the job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute idiot, completely devoid of any understanding of his position as provincial governor. He asks the private & public sectors to allow workers to stay at home so as not to breathe in the poisonous air. What about the people who have to work outside. What about the thousands of tourists who come to tour the city. You Sir are a buffoon. You should be sacked for dereliction of your duty. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFishman1 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Same same every burning season here they don’t do anything to stop it which they could and the air pollution is just terrible. Here you can’t go outside without your throat or ice starting to burn CIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, when one works from home - and there's a holiday - one doesn't have to work from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
