PHUKET: Local health officials are rolling out a campaign to prevent an outbreak of Chikungunya after a spike in the number of infections on the island.

 

Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Tanit Sermkaew confirmed to The Phuket News today (Dec 12) that government hospitals across Phuket had reported 47 confirmed cases in November and a further 21 people already this month.

 

“Chikungunya virus infections are increasing in areas where people live close together, especially in densely populated areas in Rassada, Wichit and Talad Yai (in Phuket Town), as well as in Rawai,” he said.

Take precautions, you don't want this one. My mother caught it. Extremely unpleasant and painful.

make it 22 for this month, yes is a pain in the butt, but I got a good shot at doctor titi and on my way to recover.

I was in BPH ICU yesterday, for another procedure, they had trouble finding a bed because the place was overwhelmed by Chikungunya patients.

The worst pain ever! I was disabled for over two years. It still is affecting me years later. Joint and tendon pain hasn't really gone away. My doctors think it may have something to do with me having to have a total hip replacement! I wouldn't wish it on most anyone! It is a virus, so no cure and no vaccine.
