A Thai man, who may be infected with monkeypox, was sent from Thalang Hospital in Phuket to Vachira Phuket Hospital this afternoon (Tuesday) for tests and diagnosis.

 

The ambulance arrived at the emergency ward of the hospital at about 3.55pm and doctors immediately began the diagnosis. No further details about the condition of the man are available at the time of this report.

 

A Nigerian man who had lived in Phuket since last October until he left for Cambodia last week, was the first confirmed case of monkeypox in Thailand.

Could this be a friend or acquaintance of the Nigerian man or someone who has been in contact with whomever else he may have visited with.  Lots of contract tracing needed....

Buckle down for the ride. It’s going to explode. Too late to really worry about contact tracing. It’s out there now and has been creeping under the radar for too long.

Better to Hog tie him down before he runs to Cambodia.

He's Thai, so won't know which direction to run so no problem ( unless he is an airline pilot of course )????
