Government House outbreak: Maid who cleaned top ministerial areas is now positive with Covid

[webfact]

Picture: Naew Na

 

Naew Na reported what they called "another shock" after a maid at the Banchakarn 1 building at Government House tested positive for Covid-19.

 

She cleaned in the office of DPM Wissanu Krea-ngam and a meeting room used by "Big Pom" - that's DPM Prawit Wongsuwan. 

 

This news follows three other infections in the heart of government.

 

These were a driver for PM's office aide Seksakon Atthawong, the head of a maid's team and a policeman. 

 

Reporters have been barred from entering government house as of yesterday until May 7th.

And they are surprised? Poor woman is probably low wage earner who takes crowded bus to work, and living in crowded dwelling with other low wage earners.  She cannot take time off from work if she is not feeling well because  she will not get paid or is in fear of termination. The downside of cheap  labour, perhaps.

I bet she provided a timeline as opposed to the Top Level Government Nincompoops.

She could have contracted the virus elsewhere. The report implies she was infected from cleaning a government office. Irresponsible reporting.

Maybe "Big Pom's" seat, well someone must have to. LOL

She must be a frontline worker and should have been vaccinated before cleaning Government Officials offices who all insist on party going

[Tich]

Probably polishing his rocket ????

It's the downside of hi-so partying and not giving a !@#$ about rules . She might have gotten infected at her workplace .

With due respect to the cleaner, I posted a "Like" to reflect the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the C-19 situation by the Thai Government - always reactive and not pro-active!! Allowing inter provincial travel for Songkran, allowing Ministers and top "hi-so's" to break rules to attend social functions - for starters!!
