Phayao hotel only a quarantine facility for returnees, insist officials

Officials have explained that the Phayao Northern Lake Hotel is only being used as a local quarantine facility and is under tight control after parents of a kindergarten nearby panicked over safety.

Provincial health chief Supachai Boon-Amphan said Phayao Northern Lake Hotel is being used to quarantine people returning from overseas for 14 days, not to treat patients.

He also said that not everybody quarantined is infected and quarantining them is also preventing local transmissions.
