Thanathorn to self-quarantine despite testing negative after poll campaign in Samut Sakhon
Progressive Movement co-founder Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit posted on his Facebook page on Monday that he and members of his campaign team who had visited Samut Sakhon province during the week before election on Sunday had been tested for Covid-19 immediately after news of mass infection was found in the province.
On Sunday, local elections were held for provincial administration organisation (PAO) chiefs and provincial council members.
“I have tested negative for Covid-19 as per the test result that I have attached,” he said. “However, my team and I who visited Samut Sakhon will remain in self-quarantine for 14 days, starting from today, to make sure that we do not contract the virus.
“I decided to inform the public for everyone’s peace of mind, and wish that we will all pass this new wave of outbreak together,” he added.
Fifty-five Progressive Movement members won seats to provincial councils in 18 provinces in Sunday’s election, but failed to claim a single seat for PAO chief.
