A 44-year-old female seafood vendor in Ang Thong’s Muang province has tested positive for Covid-19, Governor Khajornkiat Rakpanichmanee said on Wednesday.

 

“On December 20 the patient travelled to Samut Sakhon, which is a hotspot of new mass infections, in a personal vehicle with her husband.” he said. “She was tested on December 21 after she came back. The test was positive while the patient had shown no symptoms.”

 

 

The governor said public health officials have traced and tested six persons who came into close contact with the patient. Three of the tests have come back negative while the others are awaited.

 

 

“Officials have also closed down the market where her seafood stall is and undertook a thorough cleaning and disinfection,” he added. “The province will provide regular updates on the case. People can be sure there will be no withholding of information.”

Exactly why you try to test everyone - not just a pathetic 18,000 per million of the public !

Contact and testing positive with 24 hours?

Can we trust that testing is done in the right time frame since contact with infected? Too soon & false negative, a drawback to PCR tests globally.

The tentacles from Samut Sakhon spread further each day.

Complete madness to have traveled to Samut Sakhon on the 20th in the full knowledge of the outbreak there.
