Phetchabun governor dismisses rumours of infection cluster
Residents of Phetchabun province began panicking after learning that 10 of the 6,000 or so elderly and vulnerable people who had received their Covid-19 jab last Thursday had tested positive.
However, provincial governor Krit Kongmuang dismissed the rumour, saying only the assistant village headman who had been driving people to the vaccination site, his wife and son had tested positive for Covid-19.
Another 20 people who had been in contact with the driver have also been told to isolate themselves and will undergo Covid-19 tests within seven days.
The assistant village headman and his wife had both received Sinovac as their first shot and AstraZeneca as their second.
