This may well have changed in line with what you have posted and what I think is the case. http://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG200416212142606 I second that as i have witnessed this myself that all Thais who travelled from USA, transitted in Korea then to THailanad have been tested within State Quaratine Hotel. I cannot speak for land borders but Air yes. They get tested twice and have to report temperature everyday even without symptons, they get tested. I cannot speak for land crossings etc. However, this makes me feel that general public is not actually tested because the number of tests plus quaratiine dont add up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, whilst the percentages are low (0.475%), thats 128 less infected people out and about spreading the disease. Assuming all were actually quarantined as well as every other person that arrived with them. How can someone be less infected? Can they measure the level of one’s infection? ????

Not 0.47% which has been written in the article. I hope this is a mistake by the journalist. If this is from the Government, it could explain the reason the state of emergency is until June 30th !!! Lol you are funny. Its you that cant calculate percentages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(when i read it anyway) This whole <deleted> started because an earlier poster was criticizing the article because he thought it said 0.047% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
