DrTuner Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Well d'oh. MoPH stopped publishing the diagnosis backlog days ago. It's probably a week or two just to clear the ones from back then. Don't hold your breath waiting for the results. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smedly Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2020 Surely Thailand must realise that telling lies or withholding the truth is not in the public interest or very cleaver - not saying that is what is going on but something just doesn't sit right IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) The chief of the Commercial Affairs Phuket office, Sasiwimon Mongkhon, last Thursday reported that her office had investigated 250 complaints of retailers overcharging for face masks, but found none of them guilty enough to be charged. They were “just increased prices”, she said. Thai logic does sometimes confuse me! Edited February 12, 2020 by madmitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I flew into Phuket last week and saw no checks upon arriving. Only check was on departure where they put a thermstat on everyone's forehead. >>>“The Phuket Government, the PPHO and other relevant officers are still screening people’s body temperature at Phuket International Airport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either IR scan with camera or an individual IR thermometer. Not much else they can do in a practical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were zero checks on arrival. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is this real Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 None of these "checks" are really any good. They do nothing to find someone who has the virus in it's incubation stage, which could be two weeks. Far sad the disregard for trying to actually do something.
