Officials in Phetchabun, led by Governor Seubsak Iam-wijan, called for calm and stated that all of his contacts, including those in the Pattaya area, had been traced and he had not been particularly active or social. They also stated officials believe he brought the virus from Belgium and did not contract it in Thailand. The patient remains in isolation at the hospital.
Officials did not state exactly where he went in the area, both Phetchabun and Pattaya, while here to the public but again stressed that they were confident they had traced his contacts, which were very limited, successfully.
