The spokesperson for the Covid-19 task force of the Thai government is encouraging more citizens to utilize its contact-tracing system, claiming that there is any link between it and that several phone users have protested regarding a recent surge of gambling spam. Dr Taweesilp Wisanuyothin says the software is simple to use, and a critical weapon in the battle to monitor any more Covid-19 virus spread or "the second wave."

"If a new virus is detected, it can allow a track safer, and reduce the number of patients being screened. We are calling for help so that we can return to everyday life as quickly as possible.' Taweesilp claims the Thai Chana app has been downloaded by 120,000 people since it's launched, according to a story in Coconuts. (That also leaves other Thai locals and ex-pats who haven't.) Taweesilp still disputes the software was attacked by hackers, focusing that a previous spam attack that smartphone phones, having little to do with the contact-tracing device.

He states, though, that the software is now unable to send alerts but encourages more users to utilize it and more companies to implement it as Step 3 of the lock-down constraints relaxes. Massage stores, bowling alleys and cinemas are among the new businesses that are granted approval to reopen, ensuring that stringent sanitation procedures are taken. Most reopened yesterday.

When questioned why massage shops are unable to provide a facial massage while health clinics are permitted to conduct facial procedures, Taweesilp found out that clinics typically have appropriate hygiene measures in effect. He says the chance of mouth and nose infection is high, saying a small number of Thai massage therapists repatriated from overseas have been reported to be contaminated with the virus.
