Dr. Sophon said that from the first investigation, a 26-year-old Thai woman worked at an entertainment venue in Tachilek. Myanmar since last November Then he started to have a low fever. I know he is a colleague in a place of entertainment with a patient in Chiang Mai province on November 27 during his return to Thailand through a natural channel. With a Thai friend with a Myanmar citizen Who had returned to Myanmar The woman traveled from her village of origin to Mae Sai district by motorcycle taxi. When stopping at a restaurant and buying water at a shop in front of the temple Before staying at a hotel in Mae Sai, wearing a mask Stayed at a hotel at 9:00 am, separated from the room with a friend. Later in the evening he went out to buy food at a convenience store at a gas station next to the motorcycle of a hotel employee. Before returning to stay at the hotel
Later on November 28, around 3:00 pm, he took another taxi car from Mae Sai district to Muang district, on the way, he stopped shopping at the phone store next to the hotel. Get tested for COVID-19. At a private hospital He then came to seek further treatment at Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital at 9:30 PM. He was admitted to the Separation Room for Respiratory Diseases. Then, on November 29, at 2:00 a.m., laboratory test results confirmed the COVID-19 infection. At Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital That the test results are consistent with the laboratory results of the Center for Medical Sciences. Chiang rai
Because a 23-year-old Thai woman who arrived with a 26-year-old Thai woman stayed at the hotel, not going anywhere since November 28, ordering food online. Then on November 29, he began to have headaches, body aches and runny nose, but when the results of the 26-year-old Thai woman who were traveling together it was found that he was infected, then the health staff of the Mae Sai Hospital was picked up. from the hotel and sent to Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital. To get him to the separation room AND ran a test for COVID-19 Then on November 30, lab results confirmed the virus was found. When sending samples for re-examination at Chiang Rai Medical Science Center Waiting for results
Dr. Sophon said the 26-year-old patient case summary had a total of 27 cases, four of which were high-risk, 23 low-risk, the first high-risk exposure was a 23-year-old friend who traveled together. Infection confirmed AND a hotel employee driving a car to take an infected person shopping at a convenience store waiting to be examined A taxi driver hired from the village of origin to a hotel in the Mae Sai district, waiting to be examined . And a taxi driver from Mae Sai district to Muang district and private hospital case 1, the result was not detected. There were 23 low-risk people who were exposed to medical personnel, 13 private hospitals, Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital, but with protective equipment. And the other 3 people in the community are food vendors. And a grocery store that stops on the way to the hotel 1 person, 1 convenience store clerk, 1 hotel clerk
“The Chiang Mai case is that of a 29-year-old woman who smuggled into the city. A total of 328 high-risk people were detected, of which 107 were in the community and 42 in the vehicle, with 107 results of high-risk COVID tests. In the first round, 69 cases were negative. Among the four highest risk groups in 69 cases, the first was not found. But I must check again That here we have to warn many times that The more you smoke The more risk you are. The 149 low-risk people were divided into 140 community contacts and 9 health workers. The other 72 were not found, 47 were awaiting follow-up, another 25, “said Dr. Sophon.
The reporter asked if these cases were at risk for super spreaders, Dr. Sophon said that from a preliminary assessment of the cases in Chiang Rai, four people were exposed to high risk. The rest are low-risk people. Also, when he entered the hotel, he didn’t come out much. It may live a fraction of the day. I came to check and found the infection. It was in treatment at all, while the 23-year-old had the staff to pick it up, it did not mix with anyone. The risk of infection is very low, but don’t underestimate the 14-day quarantine. There are two types of super-spreaders at risk. And at a risk of contagion such as buses, entertainment venues, etc., which will spread the infection until 10 or more people have been infected, for example, in the case of Chiang Mai, where there is a trip to entertainment venues, it is 4 people have contacted, although there is no proof of entry. But the behavior is considered a risk of an over-spreading event because they go to an entertainment venue, not knowing whether they are drinking the same beverage or not. But with the same mass smoking
Dr. Chance said that the Communicable Diseases Committee of Chiang Rai Province has now emphasized disease prevention measures at each meeting place. Surveillance of channels of entry to countries And randomly inspecting a driver from Myanmar A survey of how many Thais working on the Burmese side of Myanmar want to return Plan for re-entry and quarantine; establish an order for disease control measures By the Provincial Communicable Disease Committee Ready to run the hospital, clinic and pharmacy to monitor pneumonia patients OR a large number of people who come to buy a flu remedy to have to report As for Chiang Mai, we have implemented pretty good disease control measures. Regarding private schools to close their classes Considered a more than necessary measure. Know that the governor of Chiang Mai has come to understand In addition, from the latest survey You also found that people in Chiang Mai wear more masks, for example, in the San Kamphaeng market Wear a 95% mask in the central airport. And Big C Don Chan uses 90%, San Herringbone Temple, Sankampang district 100% wear, while Wat Phra Singh uses 80%, which is requested continuously.
Dr. Opas said cooperation should be sought in the border areas of hotels, condominiums, establishments, entertainment venues and shops. If a person is seen entering and suspected of being infected Not quarantined If you find any clues, notify local authorities immediately. In which the Provincial Governor, as the Communicable Diseases Committee, will issue an order. If they do not comply, they will be guilty under Section 31 of the Communicable Diseases Act, BE2558 with a fine of no more than 20,000 baht. Personally, the smuggler is also guilty. When entering and detaining only for 14 days Returning relatives must also inform them.
“For the case in which it was featured on social media that four Thais who had been arrested were arrested for smuggling into Thailand in front of Myawaddy. And the situation was mixed with the case of the patient in Chiang Rai province. I confirm that they are not related. But it is a case that is also stealthy that they must be examined for infections. Detained and in the care of staff also In addition, I would like to emphasize that the trip came from the area where the COVID outbreak was affected Equal to the risk of infection Even the two cases of smuggling still detect both infections, so the Thais not smuggling. But he asked to come under the law Which Thais don’t have to ask for an embassy Just seal at the checkpoint, no need to take an infection test before traveling But he entered and had to quarantine 14 days, ”said Dr. Opas.
