Govt oblivious to senselessness of Covid-19 curbsWhen the whole country saw how the prime minister was nonchalantly teasing reporters and giggling in front of the camera last Friday, we didn't know that it was just the beginning of a series of mishaps. It turned out that the order, which aimed to keep workers contained inside the camp, ended up being counterproductive. To make it worse, the government that evening also issued another one-month eat-in ban on the food industry after midnight, also effective on Monday. Despite the outcry from restaurant operators, the prime minister appeared nonchalant. On Thursday, the prime minister and his health team were enjoying the sun, sand and sea in Phuket at the inauguration of the Sandbox scheme to welcome back tourists.
