Additionally, one Thai and one local official at the Thai Embassy in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, also have the virus, but their conditions are not serious and they are now being cared for by Saudi doctors, with the Thai official being hospitalized. Thailand’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mr. Cherdkiat Atthakor, said yesterday that, for the safety of both embassy staff and visitors, the Thai Embassy in Manama has temporarily suspended consular services, adding that arrangements for special flights to bring Thai people back from Bahrain have also been postponed.
