Thai workers living in a camp in Uzbekistan were furious when they heard the camp chief was planning to bring in a new group of labourers without putting them through quarantine.

A clip showing several Thai workers shouting at the camp’s chief went viral after being posted on Facebook by one of the workers on Wednesday (July 15).
There are 102 Thai workers stranded in a camp in Qashqadaryo due to the Covid-19 outbreak and are calling on Thai agencies to bring them back.
The man who posted the video claimed the company that hired them had denied the Thai embassy’s help and was now bringing the virus into the camp, which may end up killing one of the workers.
