Yesterday, (June 27^th), Banglamung Hospital staff confirmed the results of Covid-19 testing from the raids, stating they found five confirmed cases which consist of two male foreigners and three Thai women. These five individuals have been immediately moved to hospitals for medical supervision/support.  Under Thai Covid-19 policy, all positive patients must go to a hospital or hospital facility, like a field hospital, while in “treatment” regardless if they are asymptomatic or how they feel.

The Chonburi Provincial Police has issued an urgent order in which 37 people who were involved in the raid must be quarantined for 14 days. This group contains the 26 police at the scene as well as support staff at the police station.

As for the people who have tested negative for Covid-19 in the raid, they are being monitored on a regular basis according to the Chonburi Provincial Police and will be asked to self-quarantine and monitor symptoms if they are not high-risk cases.

Many people arrested at the raids over the weekend had their first court appearances today as well.  However, these proceedings are closed to the public and the courts generally do not release open statements to the press or public around the results of any hearings. We will provide further updates as they are received.
