Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) announced the discovery of the country’s fourth confirmed monkeypox case today (Friday), in a 22-year-old Thai woman, the first infection in a female found in the country.

 

DDC Director-General Dr. Opart Karnkawinpong said that the Thai woman reportedly frequented Bangkok night spots once a week and, on July 29th, she developed a fever, followed by blisters, which appeared on her legs and hands the following day. They then spread all over her body.

 

On Wednesday, she checked into a hospital in Samut Prakan for diagnosis and treatment. Specimens were sent to the Medical Sciences Department and the lab at the Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University, which confirmed she is infected with the monkeypox virus.

Regular washing of hands with soup (…), he advised.

???? 

I would imagine that is more the fault of the author and proof reader of the article than the doctor actually saying soup.

notice when it is a thai they omit it from the headline. yet when its a dirty dirty foreigner.....

Do you think in, for example, Australia they say in the headline "Australian man does x" or in the US "American man does..."? 

No country does that. It's the default.
