A Thai man, who worked in a massage parlour in Qatar and returned to Thailand on Saturday, has been diagnosed as having monkeypox.

 

Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong, acting director-general of Thailand’s Disease Control Department, said today (Monday)that the man began developing a fever and blisters on his hands and legs on October 8th, when he was still in Qatar.

 

He flew back to Thailand on Saturday and checked into a hospital in Pathum Thani for examination. Doctors suspected that he might have been infected with monkeypox and transferred him to the Bamrasnaradura Institute of Infectious Diseases for diagnosis and treatment.

It is hoped that Qatar sorts this medical issue out before the start of the world cup otherwise another global health issue could raise it's head.

What scares me is the Qatar tourists in Thailand. Maybe deny them for a few months would be thinkable.
