snoop1130 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 SURAT THANI (NNT) - Public health volunteers on Samui Island are urging 100% of Samui residents to wear a mask when leaving the house. An event to promote the practice was held at Ban Na Thon pier in Samui Island of Surat Thani on the weekend. Public health volunteers handed out free face masks to both Thais and foreigners as well as knocked on the door of every house to suggest measures for COVID-19 prevention. During the recent Songkran Festival, over 70,000 visitors came to the island, and thousands of Samui residents returned after Songkran celebrations in other provinces. After such mass movements there is a high chance of finding more COVID-19 infections on the island. However, if a cluster developed on the island, it would be difficult to handle a large number of patients, as it has only limited space and health facilities. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-04-19 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBBISH!!! Firstly, there are 6 International Hospitals with not less than 60 beds each, a few smaller ones. Then there is the main Public Hospital. There were 6 or less cases here in more than a year. Bangkok Air flew 27 flights a day, YES a day during Songran. Interesting the Government put restrictions on the public yet allowed that HUGE number of visitors, flying in Covid. TREAT THE SICK AND STOP TESTING. If they tested here on Samui during the past 14 months there would have been HUNDREDS of cases. My Personal Trainer tested POSITIVE for the anti bodies and he hasn't left Samui for 18 months. He had it, didn't know it and recovered. He got tested because he had another issue. It's a JOKE!!! No doubt since I have trained with him three times a week during that time I probably had it and didn't know. It's BS!!! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
