Dr Thanarak Pliphat, Deputy Director General, Department of Disease Control Referring to the news that the Korean Department of Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has detected the country’s 16th new case of the novel coronavirus, the latest case is a 42-year-old woman who returned from Thailand. news received It is coordinating with the South Korean Department of Disease Control regarding the results of the preliminary investigation and laboratory findings. to remove the information Worked to see if this patient is indeed infected. Where would the infection come from?
“I would like to view this with common sense, since the Chinese in Thailand can still get sick. it can still infect Thais in general, when tourists go everywhere they tend to go in groups Where there are many tourists, Chinese and Koreans tend to travel to that place. So the chances of tourists infecting each other are theoretically possible.”
However Confirmed that Thailand is still at the point where the spread of the virus is still at a limited level as before. But this news did not affect the level of Thailand’s risk assessment at all. We already have low-risk opportunities to come into contact with people infected with this disease in Thailand. But if the spread of the disease in Thailand continues undetected for a while, we could have an increase in the number of patients. And when there are more infected patients in the country to a certain extent Thailand’s risk level will increase.
“We are now doing our best to find as many patients as possible. and will look for the person who touches it to take a history come to examine the body, detect the infection and follow the person who touched it for a while.
Regarding the latest situation of the coronavirus infection in Thailand, February 4, 8:00 am, there are still 19 cases, 8 cases have returned home, 11 are still being treated in the hospital, while the patients are undergoing to investigation criteria A total of 492 cases need to be monitored, screened from the airport, 43 cases, 449 cases were treated in the hospital, most of them Chinese. 119 were allowed to go home, most of them infected with the seasonal flu virus. Still 373 hospital admissions, and on 3 February 7 new patients were under investigation.
Dr Thanarak said that for meeting an infected person in the country, he was a taxi driver. Making us work in two areas: be careful of Thais together and also be careful of people traveling from overseas
