Chonburi-
The Chonburi Public Health Office today (February 15th) has announced two new confirmed case of the Covid – 19 Coronavirus in Chonburi which are a foreign couple, an Australian and a Chinese.
The two new confirmed cases reported today are in Banglamung. Chonburi had zero confirmed cases for two days in a row until today. Chonburi now has a total of 652 cases of Covid-19.
The Chonburi Public Health Office Deputy Chief Doctor Wichai Tanasophon said in a public statement, “They are a foreign couple who are Australian and Chinese who have stayed in Thailand for three years.â€
“They are asymptomatic. They got the test as they need health certifications for going abroad.â€
“We believe they have had Covid – 19 for a long time as the viral load appears to be small.â€
“ It is unlikely they are contagious due to the low viral load. However we are taking every precaution regardless.†Wichai concluded.
Out of precaution the two have been quarantined at a hospital and all their contacts are being checked. In Thailand, asymptomatic cases must be quarantined in a medical environment to be observed. For foreigners this would be at their expense unless they have a work permit and social security.
