webfact Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Over 200 people, who attended a funeral in Nong Phai district of Thailand’s northern province of Phetchabun earlier this week, have been advised to enter isolation for observation after they were informed yesterday by the district hospital that the deceased was infected with COVID-19. The Nong Phai district hospital has admitted the mistake inletting relatives take the body of 78-year old Mrs. Nufuei Mala for a funeral after she died on Monday. The patient was admitted to the hospital on December 3rd, with a high fever, diarrhoea, fatigue and diabetes. She was, however, cleared of COVID-19 by an antigen test. Hercondition deteriorated due to a lung infection and her doctor decided to take a second test, by means of RT-PCR, but the result was still pending when she died. Relatives were notified and allowed to take the body home for a funeral.

Popular Post KhunLA Posted December 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Apparently not, as photo shows deceased being carried away, by the 'haz mat' crew ???????????? Not sure what the danger would be, covid from a dead person, as 'assuming', not breathing on anyone. Or was he / she masked up ???? Basic hand washing .. if .. you touched the deceased, would seem to work. Apologies to any friends & family of the deceased for my insensitivity, in case y'all are reading.

Popular Post Skeptic7 Posted December 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 Ridiculous overreaction. Extremely low chance and only for anyone actually touching the deceased. This world and especially this place have gone well off the deep end with their fear mongering overreaction nonsense. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a test and until the result returns negative then stay alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely as regards the deceased but she must have caught it from someone and, being 78, probably didn't get out much so most likely from one of the relatives who attended the subsequent funeral. If there was risk involved, it would be from one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezze Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 This is just stupid , unless somebody did give him a kiss on the mouth or anything else to come in contact with body fluids , there is no danger whatsoever . A death body does not spread body fluids , which does contain the virus . I do many times support heavy rules for covid but this is crazy but expectable in Thailand. They believe in ghost , don't know anything about a bacteria or virus , so i believe this story is unfortunate prob is true . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wonder how you'd get Covid from a dead body? No breath, no droplets of whatever, if you can get it from a dead body then you'd logically get it from mosquitos. Over reaction here. Feel for the deceased, to be in that bad a shape and be subjected to an RT-PCR. Hope this isn't an example of the medical profession that wants to be a hub for medical tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
