Jonathan Fairfield Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 299 Thais fly home from Abu Dhabi, Cairo, two have high fever One hundred Thais returned home on Friday (May 8th) from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in an Etihad Airways flight while an Egypt Air flight flew 199 Thais from Cairo. “The airport staff and officials from the Department of Disease Control have screened all passengers and crew and found that two persons coming from Egypt had high fever and therefore were separated from the others," said Kittiphong Kittikhajorn, deputy director of operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport. “The rest were transported to a government-specified quarantine facility in Le Bali Pattaya Hotel in Chonburi province and will stay there for 14 days.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30387569 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-05-09 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 3 with fevers already. Glad they are all going into quarantine. I would hope that they would test the entire lot to determine who may have it and be asymptomatic as well.....off course this will make Thailand's numbers jump up, but then they were not infected on Thai soil....

cornishcarlos Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Maybe they just have flu or food poisoning or dengue or something else which has given them a high temperature ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your absolutely right, so unless they meet the PUI requirements they will never be tested and the spread of whatever may continue.....just brilliant. Never thought for a minute the Government might be proactive and give 299 tests, but it couldn't hurt now could it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Quote I for one feel safer for them all to do a 14 day stint in quarantine than undertake dodgy test & trust that. The testing has proved of little use in the US or UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the latest PUI criteria is quite permissive, all you have to have is some symptoms. However that only puts you in the back of the queue to be tested, which for all we know might end somewhere in the middle of Pacific Ocean.

Seems they were shipped off the Pattaya for a 14 day lockdown quarantine.
