BANGKOK (NNT) - The government has prepared medical teams, nurses and medical supplies to go on a flight to evacuate Thai nationals from Wuhan city.

 

Deputy Prime Minister/Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed today that the ministry has medical personnel and supplies ready for a mission to evacuate the Thais from Wuhan on Tuesday.

 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now arranging the flight and coordinating with the Thai embassy in Beijing and Wuhan officials, to make possible the evacuation of the Thais from an airport in Wuhan. The eight-person medical team includes emergency doctors and infectious disease specialists in addition to nurses and medical supplies.

 

Upon arrival back in Thailand, each Thai national from Wuhan will be screened under the standard screening process to ascertain their status in regard to coronavirus. It remains to be seen if any might be quarantined, pending results of a consultation with the prime minister.

'It remains to be seen if any might be quarantined, pending results of a consultation with the prime minister'.

I didn't realize that the PM was a qualified medical doctor?

Just great... Now basic public health decisions are being left up to the personal whims of the PM... Just great!  :whistling:

A little late.

Perhaps taking their clues from their neighbors in Cambodia:

Speaking after that confirmation, Cambodia’s Minister of Health, Mam Bun Heng, said on Wednesday that the virus could not spread in Cambodia because the “country is just too hot”.

He was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying: “Infections are unlikely here because our country is just too hot.

Hun Sen also used the press conference to chastise reporters who wore masks to the event, threatening to remove them, and also criticised Cambodians for wanting to leave China.

 

He said: “We decided not to evacuate Cambodian students. Evacuating them would probably bring an end to opportunities for Cambodians to study there. China would stop offering scholarships.

They might get the virus either in China or Thailand. Same same. ????
