Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said on Thursday (September 3) that one prisoner may have tested positive for Covid-19.

 

He added that the test detected genetic material of the virus, which means the man had picked up the infection from someone else.

 

The Public Health Ministry and Department of Disease Control are expected to make an announcement at 6pm.

 

The suspected Covid-19 case is a new inmate who was transferred to the Central Special Correctional Institute on August 26. Though asymptomatic, he tested positive on Wednesday.

 

The 30 other prisoners in the institute have tested negative, while the suspect has been isolated for treatment.

Panic! Local infection! Take cover! To the bunkers people! 

 

No worries though, they'll find out it was a false alarm. You can come back out from under the table now.

Already in my underground bunker, with time lock on the exit.  Hope it doesn't rain in the next 14 days...

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand on Thursday reported its first local coronavirus transmission in more than 100 days, officials said, after a man who was recently imprisoned failed a routine test at a Bangkok jail.

 

The man, 37, tested positive on Wednesday during scheduled weekly testing, the Department of Corrections said in a statement, adding that he had not travelled abroad or been in close contact with a known positive case.

 

The man, a former nightclub DJ, has since been hospitalized and prisoners who came into contact with him have been isolated.

 

All of Thailand's cases in the past three months have been imported and detected in quarantine.

The Department of Disease Control (DDC) confirmed on Thursday (September 3) that a 37-year-old man being detained over drug charges has tested positive for Covid-19.

 

This is the first locally transmitted Covid-19 case in Thailand in over 100 days.

 

Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai, DDC director general, said the prisoner was recently shifted to the Central Special Correctional Institution in Bangkok.

 

The man lived in a condo in Bangkok’s Bang Mod area and worked as a DJ in Rama III and Rama V areas before being caught.

 

The prisoner has been sent to hospital, while the 34 prisoners who were in the same cell are being quarantined.

 

Medical officials have learned that the man had come in contact with five relatives, two of whom are living upcountry.
