Health minister’s first test comes back negative

An initial test on Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has come back negative for Covid-19, said the ministry on Monday.

Anutin was tested after coming into close contact with Samut Sakhon governor Verasak Vichitsaengsri during a trip to the province to oversee construction of a field hospital and promote confidence in shrimp consumption.

Verasak tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday and is isolating at home.

Anutin has been quarantined for 14 days and will be tested again in three days. The incubation period of the virus is 3-7 days after contact with an infected person. The ministry said Anutin will continue to work and issue orders via online meetings and the Line app. He will also provide a timeline of his movements over the past few days via his personal Facebook account.
