Mudcatter mg got her wish, by the way.
The latest update from CNN news has a quote,
not from the "Governor",
but from Thai Health Ministry Secretary.

Now, with all the victims rescued from underground
and admitted to -- I believe -- the same hospital,
the Health Secretary is the one who visits the hospital in person
and gives updates on the recoveries of all the children.

So far, there are two diagnoses of pneumonia.
The children are in an isolation ward.
Their families are forbidden to give them bodily-contact hugs,
although in some cases, certain children are deemed strong enough
to have their families in the very same room with them.
For the rest, there is a glass wall between the children and the family,
and they use a telephone to talk to each other through the glass.

The Prime Minister General of Thailand has also visited.
