And it is distributed in several provinces AND there are infection cases associated with a casino in Rayong, Chonburi, etc., so now we have a distribution of all infected people in the 51 provinces and we have followed close contact. There is a quarantine test and the disease can be calmed. The same is the case in Big Bike, Koh Lanta, Krabi, where there are infected people from Samut Sakhon province who traveled to do activities together there. We can keep track of who plays them completely. Doing even though there are many infections in many provinces But you can control the situation quickly There was no epidemic. This is what we hope will happen as if it spread to more provinces. But if the system we cooperate with, Patients or travelers report themselves It can help a lot, it can reduce staff working time, it can detect patients faster. Therefore, we ask that during the New Years season, you make your own timeline. Any activity, point and time will facilitate the follow-up.
So in the big picture, although now it is distributed to many provinces But, in general, most of them are not worrying. But there will be cases where you can give examples. Give reasons why the Ministry of Health Disease Control Department or various departments Therefore, measures should be issued to inform people what the point of risk is.

Taking the story, it was discovered that he had been to an illegal gambling venue before becoming ill. Causing an investigation on the patient AND other infected people by following
Over the past 7 days, there have been additional reports from related parties in other provinces such as Chanthaburi, five new cases out of all cases, all of which have a history of entering a gaming area. That there are many places.Therefore, these people, when infected, will have the opportunity to infect them in the places they visit or go without wearing a protective mask.
Another case is in the province of Trat, where three new cases were reported in the same family, parents and children, and the 54-year-old father has a history of attending a gambling house. So you can see that the people in the area have air conditioning. An enclosed space Poor ventilation There was a cry of joy as the game was played. Inevitably, people with symptoms are more likely to transmit the infection than those without symptoms. But it is important that people who are in the same place but are not yet infected have the possibility of becoming infected. However, some of these people are not very old. And strong body May have few symptoms OR no symptoms Unless they have been evaluated for diagnosis.
Therefore, with information that infected people were found involved in gambling places in many provinces like Rayong, Chonburi, Chanthaburi, Trat, they asked who entered those places. From December 1 onwards What is the period in which they should start to find infected people in places like this If you have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, cannot smell, the tongue does not know, put on a mask and travel in your own car to receive a diagnosis at a nearby medical center. In case there are no symptoms, be strict. In practicing preventive measures, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently. Avoid traveling to crowded places. If you are in a multi-member family, you should refrain from close contact with family members, especially the elderly, if 14 days after your last visit to the casino is considered safe.

Years living in the province of Nonthaburi have come to use the service AND the infection was detected. Two other Laotians working here also detected the same infection. And a few more infections were found on those services. From researching the disease, we can see the relationship. Epidemic link in a narrow room with air conditioning and poor ventilation.
