PHUKET: The Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO) has reported that further testing of people believed to have been at high-risk exposure of contracting COVID-19 from the three cases already confirmed on the island have failed to identify any new cases of people infected with the disease.

 

According to a PPHO report released late yesterday (Dec25), a total of 197 people were identified as high-risk candidates of contracting the disease from the initial confirmed case, a resident in Kathu who contracted COVID-19 after attending a big bike rally on Koh Lanta, where he came into direct contact with a man from Samut Sakhon who was later confirmed to be infected.

 

Of the 197, two confirmed cases had been identified – the man’s two sons.

And how is the wife/mother of this family? Has she been tested negative? Is she still in hospital?

 

I hope she’s ok& the rest of her family make a speedy recovery
