Self-isolation move met with criticismThe opposition Pheu Thai Party has slammed the government's decision to remove illegal Thai migrant workers who returned from South Korea from the national facility in Chon Buri's Sattahip district and send them home for self-isolation. Anudit Nakhonthap, secretary-general of the Pheu Thai Party, said the government's decision to let the returnees go home may worsen the spread. "If the government couldn't assure containment of the virus spread at the national centre, who could elsewhere?" He also asked the government to help Thai nationals who are still in quarantine in South Korea, return home. Meanwhile, in Chon Buri, 240 Thai workers who were repatriated from South Korea earlier and were later quarantined at the national facility left for their homes in 16 different buses on Friday.
