PHUKET: A team of medical staff from Phuket has returned after joining the intensive ‘active surveillance’ in Samut Sakhon to counter the spread of COVID-19.

 

 

 

A total of nine staff from Vachira Phuket Hospital and Thalang Hospital, led by Dr Withita Jaeng-iam, went to work in the highest-control province, and the epicentre of the second wave of COVID-19 infections in the country, from Feb 1-6 

 

The team was dispatched after a request for medical staff to volunteer to join the intensive testing required in Samut Sakhon after the extent of the outbreak was realised, explained the Phuket Provincial Public Health Office in a brief report.
