2 out of 7 Thais returning from S Korea suspected to have Covid-19
Suvarnabhumi Airport immigration police today (March 3) found that two out of seven Thai labourers returning from South Korea were suspected of being infected with the Covid-19 coronavirus as they have a fever. The two have been sent to hospital for monitoring and the others have been ordered detained at their residences for 14 days.
Immigration police deputy spokesman Colonel Cherngron Rimpadee said its offices nationwide held a meeting via video conference yesterday to specify precautionary measures for all Thai labourers sent back from South Korea. Fifty of them were to arrive via Suvarnabhumi Airport on a daily basis and 20 through Don Mueang International Airport.
“We have contacted airlines to separate these groups and collect their passports. They will be screened with thermoscan infrared cameras. Those found to have fever will be transferred to a government hospital,” he added.
