The sheer mind-numbing lunacy in this country never ceases to amaze me ...
CITY HALL SCRUBS 7-ELEVEN STORES FROM CORONAVIRUS TRAVEL HISTORY
Health authorities in Bangkok on Tuesday confirmed they omitted references to a convenience store chain owned by one of Thailand’s largest corporations when publishing coronavirus patients’ travel history “due to legal concerns.”
Suspicions of a possible blackout were raised when many noticed that 7-Elevens were somehow missing from travel history of those who caught the coronavirus in the capital, despite the ubiquitous presence of the stores. The City Hall told Khaosod English that its officials acted upon advice from the legal officers against publishing names of some venues visited by the patients.
“We have representatives from the legal department to review the travel history of patients before announcing them,” Siriporn Thongphu, an officer at Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s infectious control division, said by phone.
She added, “There’s also a case in the past of a condominium threatening to sue us for defamation.”
The omission became glaring on Sunday when the travel history of one of the patients – dubbed Patient 88 – released by the City Hall did not match the version published by the management of the condominium where he lives.
The only difference: his trip to a 7-Eleven.
“Dec. 21: The patient parked his car on the 6th floor and took an elevator down to L floor. He then went to the toilet and played
badminton at the court,” the statement released by M Jatujak condominium on Friday said. “After he finished playing
badminton, he visited a 7-Eleven store.”
Meanwhile, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s official report only says that the man went to work at Kasikorn Bank before “playing
badminton with a friend at M Jatujak condominium.”
CP All, the conglomerate that operates 7-Elevens in Thailand, said in an email to Khaosod English that the company maintains high standards of sanitation at all of its stores.
The company said there is no report of anyone contracting the virus from its 7-Eleven stores to date. Bangkok has about 4,500 branches of 7-Eleven, according to available information.
“Customers only spent a few minutes in our stores, so there’s very low risk of infection,” the statement said. “However, we have instructed our staff to disinfect all the surfaces every three hours to ensure safety of our customers.”
