Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Department of Disease Control has recommended travelers work remotely instead of traveling back at the end of the Songkran holidays to help contain the spread of COVID-19, while urging people who are already traveling back to self-isolate for 14 days. The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has also made recommendations for the period after the Songkran holidays, which this year is considered a critical time to curb the spread of COVID-19. The department is recommending people currently visiting their hometown during Songkran holidays postpone their return trip and instead work remotely from their current location if possible, while people who need to return are asked to use private vehicles. The department also recommends passengers on public transport wear a mask at all times, practice social distancing, and refrain from eating on board. All persons returning from their Songkran trip are urged to self-isolate for 14 days and work from home. On Thailand’s vaccination program, the DDC Director General Dr Opas Karnkawinpong said 579,305 doses of the 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses received, have been given to 557,044 people in 77 provinces, as of 13th April. He said the number corresponds to the country’s vaccination target ahead of the mass vaccination drive starting in June, with 6-10 million doses of vaccine arriving monthly. The Department of Disease Control is expected to take delivery of another 1 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from Sinovac this week. The vaccine has already arrived in Thailand, and is now pending safety tests and regulatory clearance. The Ministry of Public Health has allocated 600,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to health workers, and instructed provincial public health offices to complete the program of allocated vaccinations within the month, to keep up the fight against the fast-spreading new wave. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-04-14 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Snig27 Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 More idiocy - many of the people who visited families are hands on workers - cab drivers, cleaners, shop staff and such. How do they "work remotely"? It shows again how totally out of touch the governing elite are with Thailand. Thailand is clearly battling governmental incompetence as well as COVID. 67 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Thailand is a country - unlike the West - where the government still has a healthy fear of the populace. If they had tried to ban Songkran travel at the last minute after promising for months that it could go ahead, almost nobody would have taken any notice. Never give an order unless you are fairly sure it will be obeyed. The good news is, that despite all these scary pictures on TV of people in orange T-shirts marked "Must be isolated" being marched into field hospitals, the total death toll from Covid remains, according to the last figure I saw, at 97. That is, less than 2 days' carnage on the roads. Some crisis. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 So now then kind sir, since you allowed the travel to happen you want them to stay put it seems. 27 minutes ago, snoop1130 said: The Department of Disease Control has recommended travelers work remotely instead of traveling back at the end of the Songkran holidays to help contain the spread of COVID-19, while urging people who are already traveling back to self-isolate for 14 days. Please explain how that will work for the street food vendors who closed shop and drove north, or those factory workers who must be at work. Please tell their companies that you are requiring them to self isolate and to please pay their wages for those 2 weeks.....NOT Tools, just ridiculous. If you don't' want them or anyone traveling put the country in a lockdown for the next 14 days to see where the issues are and start to test everyone, and I mean everyone. No more Fred Astair/Ginger Rodgers tap dancing and singing in the rain. Lets be realistic here. 13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) but they have to come back homes to take their PC's, laptop with peripherals, paper files and whatever else they need to do work. They might need also to go to their workplace to arrange with co-workers many other issues. They have just went for a few days holidays, and not for several weeks brake. the government promised in advance happiness, and not unemployment for 2 weeks Edited April 14, 2021 by internationalism 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Thai people not apply for a jab from 1st of May, and get a AZ jab made in Thailand???? How many AZ do they produce in Thailand? Why still use the useless Sinovac??? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed this, they've consistently promised that in June AZ will be delivering 10 million per month, its been mentioned officially dozens of times and has always formed part of their vaccination plan. Whats this lower revised figure of 6 million, is there something we should know about the production going on in Siam Bioscience? Can a reporter ask or go and interview the company? Thought not, we can just lose 4 million a month with no explanation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark announced on Tuesday it would stop using the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine altogether, becoming the first European country to do so over suspected rare but serious side effects. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 Why did the government allow the people in the Red Zones to travel across Thailand at their whim in the first place. Now? Damage control and narrative control. Exonerate the guilty; blame the innocent. Thailand - a day late and 100 baht short. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct because there are lots of Burmese just eager to come and work in BKK to escape the murderous regime there plus the biggest incentive for the Thai conglomerates and those famous major business families is that they will work for far less money, So basically it is a win win all round for the elite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many are now suffering long term effects from the virus. Was at the beach yesterday. It was PACKED! A super spreader event for sure. We'll see the results over the next 2 weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
