PHUKET: Health officials this week upgraded up their screenings of passengers arriving from Wuhan, China, in the hope of preventing a minor outbreak of a new form of pneumonia there from reaching the island.

 

Wuhan arrivals have been screened for elevated body temperature since last Saturday (Jan 4), as fever remains one of the early indicators of infection.

 

Other signs and symptoms include difficulty in breathing and chest radiographs showing invasive lesions of both lungs, notes the World Health Organization (WHO) in its description of the illness.

Chinese Torurists are going to save Thailand tourism ??  They will be the destruction of it in so many ways.

 

This story is going to be hard to 'suppress' - the western media will eventually get the story about Chinese tourists spreading a new form of Sars like disease in Thailand.  

 

"A cluster of more than 50 pneumonia cases in the central Chinese city of Wuhan may be due to a newly emerging member of the family of viruses that caused the deadly Sars and Mers outbreaks, according to the World Health Organization."
