According to Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of Disease Control Department, the three new cases are two Thais and one foreigner, who has been living in Thailand for about a decade. Aged from 27 to 40, the three men do not know each other, but two of them had sexual relationships with male strangers at entertainment venues. All three of them have been quarantined for observation.

I was surprised that Mrs' SIL wore a mask while in my home. She is a Bangkok nurse and I was surprised, but her choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
