Immigration Police have located the Sierra Leone man who failed to report for Ebola monitoring as he was about to fly out of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Samuel Sesay, 31, is now with officials at the airport’s disease control checkpoint pending repatriation.
The health check-up showed the 31-year-old man, who came to Thailand on November 13 from Ebola-hit Sierra Leone, had no fever and was healthy. He was fined Bt2,000 for failing to report himself to health officials as required.
In related news, the Public Health Ministry and 13 related agencies and organisations held an Ebola drill at Chon Buri’s U Tapao Naval Base yesterday in a scenario that a 150-passenger aircraft found three persons with suspected Ebola symptoms. The drill ran from the emergency landing, personnel preparation, patient screening and quarantine facility.
