Currently in process As for the 139 low-risk people, 14 were Thai shrimp workers, 125 from Myanmar were in the process of collecting additional laboratory samples.

While in zone B of the shrimp market, a search for additional patients and contacts is currently underway. And another point is the bedroom where the Myanmar workers live.

As for additional measures It is to find the right loops to control the disease so that it does not spread further Monitor, communicate and cooperate with the relevant agencies in the investigation of infected people in nearby congregations and markets. All those who are exposed to high and low risk are limited. You can watch the symptoms If there are symptoms of illness, they can be checked in the hospital right away. The surveillance also extends to pharmacies, clinics and hospitals, where people who come for respiratory diseases such as influenza, health centers will test for do-19 infections during this period and request the participation of all sectors. Cleaning Market Area AND Reduce Congestion For Safety
Dr. Opaskarn Kawinpong, MD. The Director General of the Department of Disease Control said that in disease control research We set 3 main objectives: 1. Confirm what disease occurs. That this person confirmed that it was caused by the coronavirus 2. Determine the cause of the infection, where this infection comes from, which is currently under an intense investigation process, and 3. How it is contagious to others. To control the disease The four patients are now in the hospital and all have received medication. The symptoms are not heavy. But you must continue to follow The part that is rumored to have infected the Thai maritime market is not. I confirm that they are different and distant markets.
The reporter asked There is a lot of news that there are tens of thousands of high and low risk people. Before testing for COVID-19, Dr. Opas said there were only hundreds of people exposed to this case. But according to the communication loop search measures, we will find as much as possible. There will be extensive exams. To control the situation quickly Hence, the news that many infected people have is not true. But many other tests Depending on the evidence we have and we will go down to investigate.
When asked if the infection in the country of Samut Sakhon province was related to seafood There are people worried that eating seafood Including sushi that is raw food is safe or not. Because many countries have reported COVID infection from frozen food, Dr. Sophon responded that about food we recommend eating cooked and hot. But at this time, we have only found one infected person on the market and we are investigating further. Initial tips to focus on individual measures The probability of the virus contaminating food is low. It can be seen in foreign news that exports of seafood products abroad become contaminated when there are serious outbreaks in the country. Simply put, many people in the community are infected. There is a possibility of infection entering raw food for export. But among these, few cases were found. With measures that we set out to prevent Recommend eating hot cooked food. I wish people peace of mind, but not negligence in defense.
