Tak –
The 35th Army Ranger Task Force has stepped up its patrols of the Thai-Myanmar border in the Tak province and other border areas following a coup in Myanmar and concerns of a potential increase in illegal border crossings.
A top concern is that potentially Covid-19 positive people could cross the border and cause a renewed cluster of infections in Thailand.
Blockades and barbed wire fences have been reinforced in and around Tak along with stepped up patrols.
Nine people have already been reportedly caught in the Mae Ramad district of Tak illegally crossing the border by the stepped up patrols. These people have been submitted to Covid19 testing and detained. Illegal narcotics were also allegedly found on some of these individuals and charges will take place for these as well.
