At least one person who came into contact with the man has since become the Granite State’s second confirmed case, health officials confirmed. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre staffer displayed symptoms of the deadly virus, including “fever and respiratory symptoms”, after returning from a trip to Italy, and was told to stay home while waiting test results, which came back positive on Monday, according to a New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services spokesman. “DHHS has determined that the first patient, despite having been directed to self-isolate, attended an invitation-only private event on Friday,” the spokesman said in a statement. Having defied the first directive, the hospital worker was “issued an official order of isolation” after testing positive on Monday, officials said. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/stay-home-coronavirus-sufferers-incredible-display-of-selfishness/news-story/57b58910893c7f8101b23de16e9bb3cf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 There's still some doubt about any quarantine requirements which won't be officially announced until tomorrow (Friday). Quote No quarantine measure has been officially announced, but Public Health Ministry spokesman Rungrueng Kitphati told Reuters on Thursday it would come into effect on Friday. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1872354/six-places-defined-as-dangerous-zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that all arrivals from these places, including those that transit through them, will have to provide the authorities with their address and travel plan and be self-quarantined for 14 days. “Thais and foreigners who came from these places will have to go through self-quarantine for 14 days at home or in a hotel room, where they have to report themselves to the authorities every day or officials will come to check on them,” health ministry spokesman Rungrueng Kitphati told Reuters.

So did I, but the Bangkok Post slightly differs. The Reuters one quotes a spokesman as the source of the quarantine requirements, not the Royal Gazette publication. As has been seen already, spokesmen seem to jump the gun although this time I think it's likely he'll be right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 A girl I know (Miss N) in Korat told me this morning that her brother has just arrived home from S. Korea, where he had been working illegally. He had to get a mate to pick him up from the airport. They have to be quarantined together for 2 weeks. Mum and Dad have moved out of their house and gone to live with Miss N. Ma and Pa's house is now quarantine central. The local nurse was on the phone to Mum even before brother had arrived home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This kind of contradictory and sudden decision is exactly what kills the worldwide travel and tourism business. Let's say I planned a trip to Thailand next week, I dont worry about the virus as chances to catch it are minimal. But I would worry a lot about some idiot throwing out a new rules blocking me from leaving Thailand or some new rule being.created during here in Bali while I am in Thailand, banning all travellers from Thailand. So I cant go home, except being quarantine here on arrival. Considering the actual madness and overnight decisions worldwide, how can anybody take the risk to travel to / from any country that has had the slightest case of Coronavirus ? Not because of the fear of the virus, just because of the "administrative" risk. FFS, I can imagine the lodging condition and food in a Thai or Indo quarantine camp. Where are my fecking croissants ?...And I am too old to play a remake of "Papillon" ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
