1 new case is an asymptomatic Thai citizen from #Singapore already in #quarantine. Thailand also extending #StateofEmergency till end Sept, the 5th time

#Thailand @NatapanuN at #COVID19 briefing in English explains why nation is extending #StateofEmergency #พรกฉุกเฉิน for the 5th time despite not having any local community infection for almost 3 months. Says key reason for decree is to continue to ensure there'll be no 2nd wave

@NatapanuN

#Thailand @NatapanuN also gave updates on how 71 testing labs are situated in 77 provinces & nation has conducted combined testing of more than 800,000 to date. More than 73,000 #Thai citizens have been repatriated from abroad while more than 7,200 foreigners allowed to come in

All new cases are that of Thais returning from #Egypt, #Germany & #US. All already in #quarantine. No local community infection for almost 2 months now.

This as Thailand plans to further extend its #StateofEmergency. Country had introduced the decree since late March due to #COVID19. But it has been extending it on a monthly basis. Had already done so 3 times. Latest decree will expire July 31. Will be 4th time if extended again

Some #Thai citizens have staged protests against the extension of the #StateofEmergency, saying the law is unnecessary & accusing the government of using the decree to suppress & intimidate the people. But authorities have consistently insisted decree is needed to manage #COVID19

Both Thais who returned from #Qatar in #quarantine. 36th day that Thailand has not seen a local transmission. Today is also day #StateofEmergency expires

But #Thailand likely to further extend period of #StateofEmergency as #PM #Prayut had repeatedly said before that the decree was necessary and had helped to manage/control the #Covid19 situation in country. Some citizens refute that arguing the government is trying to extend grip

@ASEANMP

@ASEANMP statement on likely extension of #StateofEmergency in #Thailand calling it "an excuse to prevent protests from starting and the student movement from resuming". Says "no reason anymore for government to justify emergency powers" as nation has #Covid19 under control

@BernieSanders

A number of investors and traders told me last week they believed that the market drop, while driven by #coronvavirus, was due at least in small part to @BernieSanders leading status in the primaries.

@BernieSanders

@BernieSanders One posited that if @JoeBiden, who is less feared by Wall Street, had a strong showing in the #SouthCarolinaPrimary, stocks would rally Monday morning. We could be seeing an element of that right now: cnbc.com/2020/03/01/awa…

@BernieSanders

@BernieSanders @JoeBiden Curious if people think so?
