webfact Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Thailand's Phang-Nga province reimposes anti-COVID-19 restrictions for fear of second wave Source: Xinhua| Editor: huaxia File photo BANGKOK (Xinhua) -- Authorities of Phang-Nga Province, one of Thailand's famous tourist destinations in the south, said on Saturday that anyone entering the province is subject to a 14-day home quarantine amid concerns for a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. "A 14-day home quarantine is not too much to ask," said Phang-Nga provincial governor Chamroen Thipphayaphongthada, "however for those who can provide evidence of entering a state or local quarantine facility before arriving into the Phang-Nga, won't need to go through a another round of quarantine." The announcement came after Thailand last week discovered a new local COVID-19 case after 100 days of free local transmission. The surging number of COVID-19 cases in neighboring Myanmar also prompted the governor to reimpose the health measures.

Popular Post chilli42 Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 Pathetic! This decision is of course the "will of the people" and "what's best for them". No consultation other matter because the higher ups no better than the unwashed masses. Hopefully people will remember this next time an election rolls around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrTuner Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 A DJ in BKK tests positive without realizing he was infected - half of Thailand shuts down. Is there such a thing as sympathy panic? You know, when the chickens start running and clucking on the ground you start motorboating in fear? Seems to be what's going on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know what kind of incarceration awaits. Quite a lure for the gazillions of tourists just waiting to get packed into an aeroplane to breathe into a mask for half a day and then be taken to their mystery gulag accommodations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just too lazy to translate them: https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/situation.php PUI criteria is here: https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/file/guidelines/g_surveillance_230620n.pdf Quote 2.1 Symptomatic PUIs with any of the following respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, anosmia, tachypnea, or shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing and/or having temperature ≥37.5 °C Which covers just about any common cold. Has anybody tried lately to get tested? Fun fact: my wife seems to be permanently running at 37.4, I at 36.8 (I have a high precision Braun temp meter that you stick in the ear). 0.1 more for her and she's toast. Never been stopped at the Cheap Chinese Infrared <deleted> meter station though. I guess you have to be over 50 DegC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this comes from an official organ of the Chinese Communist Party. They ain't daft you know. Er..........

Xonax Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Do NOT book any kind of accomodation or travel to any part of Thailand outside of your home-province, as you will never know, which kind of quarantine request will suddenly pop up, before your scheduled holiday! The government is encouraging residents of Thailand to travel within the country, in order to support the suffering tourism industry, while local guvernors are opposing the exact same idea!!
