webfact Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Vigilance at checkpoints By The Nation People travelling via the Ta Sab district checkpoint in Yala province must take a thermo-scan to check if there is any person with body temperature over 37.5 degrees Celsius. Every traveller is checked twice with the thermo-scanner. The monitoring is a joint effort involving the police, Public Health officials and the Department of Land Transport officers to prevent the spread of coronavirus that has infected over 1,000 people in Thailand.

rasmus5150 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Have they heard about the 2 weeks incubation period? No fever showing, even though you are infected...... And what about the virus being transmitted through eyes? Shouldn't the officers wear "splash guards"? Otherwise if they get infected, they can transmit disease to every driver that they check. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 There are other options to die in Yala than Covid. Waiting for more reports of checkpoints at other province borders. Only read about Bangkok and now Yala. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemeaylward Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Social distancing 2 metres! No we are immune! Crazy! They could be spreading the virus not stopping it! If they must test for fever, they should have the sensor on a stick, at least 1 metre long, which, together with the length of the arm should be just about far enough away for the recommended separation distance! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrya Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 A large percentage of Covid patients don't develop high fever. Many reports no fever or temperature lower than 37.2 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The temperature checks are the Governments "Placebo" The first 10 days of incubation there is no temperature gain but you still are a carrier Plan to restrict travel to "essentiaL should be put in place. Visiting friends & family is NOT on the list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer6969 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Gastroenteritis gives you a mild fever too, so you reckon they'd let me go if I produced a sample right on the spot. Edited March 27, 2020 by Boomer6969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
