jackdd Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Currently there are several different versions of this news, we will have to see which one is correct. In one news she met with an illegal immigrant from Myanmar on 21st, then after this went to Central, the hostess bar and so on. Then there are other news which say that the infected Thai woman came back from Myanmar on 24th. A graphic from the ministry of public health classifies her as a Covid case coming from abroad and not as a local one, but why wasn't she in quarantine then? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to details from the CCD: On Nov 24, she still had a fever, and developed a cough and a headache. Around 5am on that day, she travelled from Myanmar to Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai by public van. Of the 326 people who came in contact with the woman, 105 were deemed at high risk of infection and 149 low risk. Officials said 72 people were in close contact with her. Thai social media reports she also bar-fined a lad for company on her pub run. As she did not quarantine she is said to have entered Thailand "illegally". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contacts will test negative and we will never hear about it again. Can not risk damaging Thailand's virtuous image. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
