The Department of Disease Control has launched an urgent investigation into a chickenpox outbreak at two faculties at Thammasat University’s Rangsit campus, after classes were moved fully online from March 3 to 6. Officials said an investigation team was dispatched and authorities are tracing cases linked to a mid-February student camp.

US authorities said Friday they had placed 5,200 detained migrants into quarantine, mainly over exposure to mumps, linking a surge in cases to a recent outbreak of the contagious disease in Central America.
