Pakarathorn Thienchai (3rd right) and Pattaya Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome (2nd right) inspect the lockdown to make sure it is running smoothly. Following their poorly planned, botched attempt to lock down the city, Pattaya officials on Wednesday actually tested their checkpoints to determine the impact on traffic. Last week’s attempted lockdown was a classic case of Pattaya officials announcing a plan without thinking it through first. Traffic chaos quickly resulted when police, Pattaya and Banglamung officials shut down streets to check for identification cards and fevers. It took a week, but a new plan was devised and on April 15 a dry run was staged to ensure the same problems would not reoccur. Intended to go into operation today will be eight checkpoints along Sukhumvit Road entering the city at its north and south ends at a major intersections. Ingress and egress lanes were clearly marked and, this time, traffic didn’t jam as badly. With the checkpoints set up on Sukhumvit with the intent of screening entering downtown, Pattaya is making no effort to protect the “dark side”, or East Pattaya. While residents there consider themselves residents of Pattaya, the area east of Sukhumvit actually is not inside the legal city boundary and is governed by Nongprue Subdistrict. So, for the intents of the lockdown, the many foreigners and Thais living on sois Nernplabwan, Khao Talo, Khao Noi, Nong Yai, Railway Road and other large residential streets will effectively be locked out of downtown, treated the same as travelers from Bangkok and other provinces. Traffic moved much better the second time around. Everyone passing through the checkpoints are checked, no exceptions. Håller dom på med nyinspelning av "Dum, Dummare, Dummast"?

Tallviking Inlagd April 17, 2020 Dela Inlagd April 17, 2020 Läs mer här Chonburi planerar att öppna ALLA företag den 1 maj En ny order utfärdades från Chonburi guvernör som ändrar alla tidigare order till slutet av den 30 april, tillsammans med återöppning av elektroniska butiker och apparater. Det senaste utspelet ledde till många frågor på sociala medier om det verkligen innebar att företag kunde börja öppna igen den 1 maj. Som bekräftat av ett uttalande från Chonburi PR, är det exakt vad den senaste ordern innebär. Företagen öppnar igen från 1 maj 2020 om situationen inte förvärras. De uppgav att om situationen med Covid-19 fortsätter att förbättras och inte förvärras är den nuvarande planen att öppna företag igen och få de tiotusentals – uppskattningsvis 80 till 90 procent av staden – tillbaka till arbetet. Det kommer troligtvis att ta månader innan internationella resenärer återvänder, men att öppna i minst en lokal skala är ett första steg för att få många människor tillbaka på fötterna. Denna order kan naturligtvis komma att ändras utifrån det övergripande nödförordningen och den övergripande Covid-19-situationen i Thailand, men andra provinser som Udon och Phuket har också sagt de senaste 24 timmarna att de också tittar på maj först som ett öppningsdatum.

Sedan tidigare vet vi att den officiella siffran på insjuknade är runt 30 i Pattaya, 83 totalt i hela Chonburiprovinsen sedan början, typ någon gång i februari eller början på mars. Fler tillfrisknade än fortsatt sjuka. Det man kan fundera över är om Pattaya överhuvudtaget har haft något större utbrott eller pandemi om man så vill. Samma skulle i så fall gälla för hela Thailand. Ett motargument skulle förstås kunna vara att det är de kraftfulla åtgärderna som gett resultat, men för min del haltar det argumentet betydligt av flera skäl. Främst om man jämför med andra länder som infört liknande åtgärder. https://thepattayanews.com/2020/04/16/Pattaya-city-disease-prevention-team-continues-proactive-search-for-covid-19-update-on-testing-so-far/ Ändrades April 17, 2020 av spooncreek Link to comment Dela på andra sajter More sharing options...

kenke Inlagd April 17, 2020 Dela Inlagd April 17, 2020 Farang news round up for Pattaya April 16 • By Barry Kenyon© By Barry Kenyon, exclusively for Pattaya Mail April 17, 2020 0 4332 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter There are eight roadblocks at intersections, all on Sukhumvit, to check vehicles coming into and leaving Pattaya City and to carry out temperature checks. As news continues to pour in – not always accurate – about the local impact of the Corona virus outbreak, here’s a summary of the latest developments affecting Pattaya and Chonburi-based foreigners. The topics are sometimes a mixture of national and local authority edicts. Visas and extensions of stay Those with short visas – 90 days and under – whose permission expired on or after March 26 are automatically extended until April 30. Most of the people currently visiting the very quiet immigration offices are holders of a 12 months’ extension of stay who need to renew their permits. They are not covered for visa renewal by the amnesty described above, although they do not need to report for the 90 days address check-in if the due date falls between March 26 and April 30. An announcement for the month of May is expected soon from national immigration headquarters. The likelihood is that the broad amnesty will continue to avoid unhealthy long queues and chaos. Nothing has been heard of the earlier suggestion to introduce remote visa extension applications by the internet. No routine extensions to November 30 Some nationals of Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia working in Thailand, often in the construction industry, under the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding between governments) are now permitted to stay here without extension of their labour permit until the end of November 2020. But this provision is specifically for authorized and documented workers from these three countries bordering Thailand and does not apply to anyone with a passport from another country. No free Corona treatment Earlier reports that hospital checks and treatment for Corona-related illnesses among foreigners being free are untrue. The only farang able to claim free treatment are those with authorized work permits since they pay directly into the social security system and are linked to individual hospitals. All other foreigners must pay for any medical treatment, Corona virus-related or otherwise, at clinics and private or public hospitals or use applicable medical insurance. The booze ban The Chonburi governor has announced a ban on buying or transporting all alcohol until the end of the month. Unless he extends the ban, it would then be permitted to buy booze only during the hours 11.00 – 14.00 hours and 17.00-18.00 hours – a specifically Chonburi–announced regulation. There is separately a national ban on overnight alcohol sales from 18.00 to 06.00 but the tighter Chonburi time schedule would remain in force, unless cancelled by the provincial governor. The booze situation is a good example of how national and local orders can overlap. Pattaya traffic blocks There are eight roadblocks at intersections, all on Sukhumvit, to check vehicles coming into and leaving Pattaya City and to carry out temperature checks. In practical terms, residents of Nongprue municipality (known variously as the Dark Side or Nongprue or Banglamung) will not automatically be able to pass into Pattaya City by crossing Sukhumvit. The same will be true vice-versa. There have been reports of spot checks at other locations too. It is best for farang drivers to carry face masks for all passengers, have a bottle of hands’ sanitizer and keep original and blown-up A4 copies of relevant documents, including passport, driving licence and proof of residence. If travelling outside the permitted area by driving on Sukhumvit, you should also have documentation showing the purpose of travel, e.g., hospital appointment letter. Foreigners with work permits will have been separately advised by their employer. The road blocks are temporary until the end of April, unless decreed otherwise, and are in operation daily outside curfew hours. Curfew hours The Pattaya lockdown above is a provincial decision and quite separate from the national curfew which lasts nightly from 22.00 – 04.00 hours until April 30 or until changed. Everyone must be at home during these hours. The exceptions are very tight and largely restricted to government personnel, Thai overnight workers with dispensation and deliverers of food and essential items. However, foreigners will be permitted to go to airports with a relevant ticket. Ambulances or transfer to hospital of obviously injured people are allowed.

Pattaya public-health workers have begun visiting popular bar areas to test lingering workers for Covid-19. While bars have been closed for nearly a month in Pattaya, some hostesses and staff have remained in the city, some peeking out from behind “closed” doors to entice straggling foreigners inside for a “private” drink. Health workers on April 14 visited both Soi 6 and Soi Buakhao, areas thick with hostess and beer bars that offer accommodations to employees who may have remained in Pattaya, rather than return to the provinces. Workers tested them for the coronavirus and encouraged them to tell friends to get tested if they are still working in a “high-risk” occupation, such as with foreigners. It was not made known if any of the people tested were positive. Nurse Naanya Jantarakad said anyone who thinks they’ve been had high-risk exposure should call 038-429-116 to arrange a test.

To protect garbage men, people should discarded face masks into easily identifiable sealed plastic bags. Face masks are one of the main tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but, for Pattaya’s garbage collectors, they are perhaps their greatest risk of infection. Despite pleas from health officials, the overwhelming majority of Pattaya residents are simply tossing their soiled facemasks into the trash. When Pattaya’s garbage men sort rubbish from recyclables, they are confronted with a wave of potentially coronavirus-infected fabric. Hospitals bag their gowns and facemasks into hazardous waste bags. Medical professionals and Pattaya’s trash collectors want residents to do the same. Kung, one of the city’s many garbagemen, said he fears catching Covid-19 from the refuse he has to sort through every day. Reaching senior citizenship, he’s in the highest-risk group for infection and uses both gloves and masks to protect himself. He said residents smile and are polite to him, but simultaneously are being thoughtless about how they disposed of their personal hazardous material. To protect garbagemen, people should sort their own recyclables, put infectious waste into bags and also put broken glass and toxic material into easily identifiable bags, Kung said. The men and women sorting through society’s waste and refuse never aspired to do this as a career. For many, he said, it’s their only option. Pattaya’s locals need to be considerable enough to understand that, he said. Link to comment Dela på andra sajter More sharing options...

Pattaya tweaked its lockdown plan after traffic backups became untenable in Najomtien. Pattaya currently is running checkpoints at eight access points to the city from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., barring anyone from entering who does not live or have essential business there. Drivers and passengers entering downtown are checked for fevers and their identification and travel motives are also reviewed. One checkpoint, on Sukhumvit Road by Najomtien Temple, has created too much congestion, however, said Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome. So on April 18 it was relocated to the intersection of Soi Chaiyapruek. As part of that move, parts of Sukhumvit sois 66 and 68 along with Jomtien Beach Road and Jomtien Second Road will close today. The lockdown, meant to prevent the import of new Covid-19 cases in Pattaya, is set to last through May 7. (PCPR) Link to comment Dela på andra sajter More sharing options...
kenke Inlagd April 18, 2020 Dela Inlagd April 18, 2020 Pattaya tests 1,393 for coronavirus By Pattaya Mail April 18, 2020 0 259 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Pattaya has tested nearly 1,400 people for Covid-19 at the city’s new field hospital at the Grand Bella Hotel. Pattaya tested nearly 1,400 people for Covid-19 at the city’s new field hospital at the Grand Bella Hotel. The number of people who tested positive for the coronavirus, if any, was not disclosed. But Pattaya officials said that they met their goal of testing 200 people a day at the closed two-building resort. Testing is being done on Thais and foreigners deemed to be “high-risk”, specifically Thais working with foreign tourists, such as bargirls, taxi drivers and hotel staff. Foreign tourists remaining in the city also are being tested. Subjects arrive at the hotel lobby and have their temperatures and medical history taken. They are then screened and sent to the first floor of the second building to await results. Pattaya is using a new “loop-mediated isothermal amplification”, or LAMP, test to rapidly detect a gene in the novel coronavirus that requires less equipment and expense than standard tests and can return results in as little as 30 minutes. Test kits are processed at Banglamung Hospital. However, the medical community questions the accuracy of the LAMP tests, as the gene targeted by the test mutates frequently. As such, anyone testing positive is subjected to a second, more-accurate, expensive and slower test. Anyone testing positive is admitted to the higher floors in the second building where they are either held in quarantine or treated for mild and moderate symptoms. Anyone developing serious symptoms are transferred to area hospitals. (PCPR) Link to comment Dela på andra sajter More sharing options...

Soi Khopai Community leaders surveyed residents about what steps they would like to see the government take to offset the financial blow from the coronavirus shutdown. Neighborhood President Wirat Joyjinda led the survey team around the South Pattaya community April 16. The survey, created by Pattaya and Banglamung District officials, asks what more the city, district, provincial and national government can do to alleviate the financial hardship from the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting business shutdown. Residents of all stripes, from merchants to company staffers to motorcycle taxis, have been affected. Most have been put out of work and those still in business have seen customers and incomes fall by 50 percent or more. Residents said they want assistance obtaining the government’s promised 5,000-baht monthly compensation for casual workers, a handout of consumer products, short-term employment, vocational training, low-interest loans and tax cuts.

I know that everyone needs food for themselves and their families for the immediate future, so we will distribute food to the needy every Wednesday at 15.00 hrs until the need subsides.” Last Wednesday 250 boxes of stir fried garlic chive flowers with pork liver were distributed, together with drinking water.
