The jokes of April 1, prohibited by law: where the radical decision was taken, because of coronavirus

Today is April 1, a day associated with global jokes more or less successful and farce. Unfortunately, in the context of the pandemic, this practice has become illegal.

Government agencies in various corners of the world are panicked when it comes to the ideal way to respond to the pandemic.

It is obvious that radical measures of social spacing put the economies of the countries on a permanent basis for an indefinite period of time.

If this difficult period lasted a month or two, some correct estimates could be made as to what follows, but it could easily reach six months.

In this context, no one needs April 1 cheats about coronavirus. For this reason, the Government of Thailand has decided to ban them by law. Any such humorous initiative is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

The announcement was made through a posting on Twitter by the Public Relations Department of the Government of Bangkok.

The message is as simple as possible, “it is against the law for people to falsely claim that they have Covid-19 on the occasion of Easter Day, celebrated on April 1st.”

There could be no reference to the degree of extreme suffering in every corner of the world during this period.

“People all over the world are suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic and this is a powerful enough reason for people to be more cautious and not use it to make jokes or jokes,” the same online text states.

As a reference, the Thai people are only at the beginning of the epidemic, in the context of the government decree of a state of emergency yesterday, which will remain in force until at least April 30.

One of the measures adopted in the decree adopting the state of emergency stipulates that “panic-strikers are warned not to spread false news or rumors about the COVID-19 pandemic through any of the media channels,” said the Department of Public Relations of the Thai Government. in another message posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
