PHUKET: Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Dr Thanit Sermkaew has confirmed that a parent of a child attending a major primary school in Phuket has tested positive for COVID-19.

 

Health officials are waiting for the results of a second test to confirm whether or not the parent is infected, Dr Thanit told The Phuket News this afternoon (Dec 22). 

 

The news broke when the management team of the Kajonkiet School Group issued a notice this afternoon titled “One parent tested positive for COVID”.

Now the issue will be whether or not the Government tries to tie it back to the Samut Sakhon cases.  If not then it would seem that the spread is now popping up and not just from that Area.  Stay safe folks.

The infected man recently attended a big big rally where he came in close contact with a man from Samut Sakhon who has since tested positive so the link is clearly established.

Seems Covid travels faster than the news.
