What is the current process and experience of obtaining a 60-day COVID extension at Jomtien Immigration?

Question

No Idea what is going through the minds of immigration at Jomtien at the moment.
It seems they are trying to make sure there are huge amounts of people there everyday.
I went yesterday with a medical certificate from the hospital stating I need a 90 visa. They told me they only do 30 days now. So I opted for the 60 day covid extension. They took the payment etc and said return today to collect my passport. I get someone to collect my passport as I have a broken leg and it’s difficult to get around. They returned with the passport stamped ‘under consideration’. This happened last time I applied. Then when I returned on the given date (less than a month later) I was asked to leave my passport again and return the next day to collect it. So in order to obtain a 60 day extension, you have to attend the center 4 times with a large crowd of people with many who have no concept of personal space even in these crazy times!
The staff do a great job, it’s just confusing why they aren’t making things easier and safer for themselves.

When you go the second time on the under consideration date, you just drop passport outside near 90 days report, not have to queue for go inside, quickly, and day after pick up quickly same outside , I did it already many times , but if you live far or you want go far that days it's a problem

They make you come back and get it instead of all the people having to stay there and wait for it. You don't have to wait around to collect it
