Mae Sot Hospital partially closed, 19 medics quarantined after two patients test positive for COVID-19

 

 

The out-patient building at Mae Sot District Hospital was ordered closed yesterday (Wednesday) for five days to be disinfected, after it was discovered that two women, who were admitted for treatment after testing positive for COVID-19, had allegedly concealed information about their illegal entry into the district from Myanmar.

 

As a precaution, 19 medical personnel working at the building were also quarantined on the orders of Dr. Thawatchai Sethsupana, the hospital director.

 

It was also reported that 52 other people, including 14 police and troops, who were in close contact with the two women, one Thai and one from Myanmar, have also been placed in quarantine at a facility outside the Mae Sot township.

There is no way to prevent them from entering despite the best efforts of the army, etc.

 

They won't like it as all countries like to think they have a good measure of control over the borders but the simple fact is - they don't, it's the same everywhere.
