Virus beats weak systemThe latest news about the police frantically searching for a tourist who evaded Covid-19 regulations is deeply worrying, but hardly a surprise. What is unsettling is the system our authorities depend on to track and trace groups that pose a high risk of having or spreading Covid. More worrying still is whether the authority has any plan or system to trace high-risk groups at all. The system is handled by the ministry so that medical officials can keep track of people's movements across Thailand. It is shocking that after two years of living with Covid, the government has still not established a well-tested system to trace and track high-risk Covid groups.
