COVID-19 Confirmed with Bangkok's Riot Policeman

 

 

BANGKOK, March 4 (TNA) - A police senior sergeant major of the Wang Thonglang police station tested positive for COVID-19 after returning home in Samut Sakhon and handling demonstrators near the prime minister's residence.

 

Pol Col Ekapop Tanprayun, chief of the Wang Thonglang station, said the infected policeman, Pol Sen Sgt Maj Somyot Nuamcharoen, was ordered to stay in his room and wait for an ambulance that would bring him to hospital to repeat COVID-19 testing.

 

If the new test confirms his infection, he will be sent to treatment, Pol Col Ekapop said. Pol Sen Sgt Maj Somyot went home and met a friend in Krathum Baen district of Samut Sakhon province on Feb 18. The province is the red zone of maximum COVID-19 control measures.

If no other infections occur from this policeman it will be the Thai miracle again, just like the Khao San Road DJ.
