Students returning from other provinces face 14-day quarantine

Students who return to Samut Sakhon from other provinces will be quarantined for 14 days before being allowed to rejoin schools, which will open nationwide on July 1. Other provinces are likely to follow suit, in line with government rules.

 

Governor Veerasak Vichitsangsri announced the measure after meeting with school executives to discuss Covid-19 prevention measures in local education institutions.

 

The institutions must now inform parents and students that those returning from other provinces to study must follow Public Health Ministry rules, which include self-isolation at home for 14 days before returning to school or college.

 

Meanwhile schools, public health volunteers, and local officials are collaborating to deal with any students who are found with a temperature higher than 37.5 Celsius degrees.

 

Schools and colleges have been instructed to collect information on students and staff to prevent overcrowding and check for symptoms of Covid-19. They are also allowed to extend the school week until Saturday to reduce crowding. Only 20 students will be allowed at one time in each classroom, where desks must be placed at least 1.5 metres apart.

This government is too paranoid, with almost zero cases for the past few weeks, there's no need for internal quarantine.

 

One IMPORTANT fact that people seem to forget is.....

 

Even if you did catch the virus, the death possibility is only 1% and NOT 100%.

 

So far in Thailand, only 58 people have died out of 3135 which is about 1-2%.

 

It's like not allowing people to ride motorcycles when death caused by accidents is 1%.

How paranoid are these people? Without a case in the country for 3 weeks all the provinces in the country are clear, so what purpose does this stupidity serve?

It allows those with power the opportunity to exert power. 

What good is power if you can't put your knee on someone else's neck, 'eh?
