Lite Beer Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Mers patient gets better, can eat by himself BANGKOK: -- The Department of Disease Control says the 75-year-old Mers-infected Omani patient under isolation care at the Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute (BIDI) can breathe and eat by himself while his sick son and brother are also getting better with no fever now. Dr Rungruang Kijpati, spokesman of the Department of Disease Control, said the condition of the Omani patient now is improving with no fever.He could eat mild food by himself while his three relatives also are getting well with no fever and no cough.However they are still needed to be closely monitored separately, he said.For the 175 people in risk group, all have good health, and are all located, he said.For about 30 people who have close contact with the Omani patient, he said they were advised to stay in hospitals for close monitoring of their conditions for safety reason.He also assured that all areas in the country can be visited with no concern of health safety as the department has high standard of disease control , adding that the people can inquire information at Hotline 1455 on a 24-hour basis.

diehard60 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 175 others??????? Oh good. So everything is under control. That is not what the US Embassy says. The U.S. Mission Thailand is monitoring the current Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in the Republic of South Korea and any related incidents in our region. This notice provides current recommendations. In South Korea, there are no signs of sustained community-acquired infection. Confirmed cases of transmission have been linked to hospitals. As a result, hospitals in South Korea have increased their surveillance and modified their approach to dealing with patients who exhibit symptoms. The Thai Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) reported on June 18 the first case of MERS in the Kingdom of Thailand. They are monitoring individuals with possible exposure to that confirmed case and any others that may emerge. Travellers can expect increased passenger screening measures at international airports, particularly for flights from Middle Eastern countries. Please be aware there may be misguided media reports regarding the current MERS risk. A good source of reliable information about this disease is the CDC MERS website from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The World Health Organization also provides advice in English on MERS (WHO MERS Fact Sheet.) Even though the current risk for exposure in Thailand is extremely low, there are common-sense steps you can take to further minimize risk: 1) Frequent hand washing, particularly after touching other people and after going out in public. Carry a pocket-sized hand sanitizer with you. 2) Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, or nose. 3) Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. 4) Avoid contact with people who are coughing or sneezing. 5) Discuss with your family the steps above. Know who is playing with your children and inquire if anyone is sick. 6) Stay home is you are sick with any viral illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) The report was 4 hours ago, according with the trend of the previous 2 reports that Thailand had no MERS and no Thai returned from Korea with MERS, we may expect a report of his death by 8pm.

kriswillems Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Taking into account the fear for foreigners and their strange diseases and taking into account the credibility or non-credibility of some doctors we should take into account that it is very well possible the guy just had a flu.

Chao Lao Beach Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wouldn't it be wise to warn the other customers in his hotel ? Seeing they have shared close publuic space, lifts, Breakfast etc ?

sfokevin Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) We can all rest easy now... The Health Minister has announced that said Omani is only "mildly infected" with MERS... and in other news the Tourism Minister has been out to Suvarnabhumi Airport and certified the MERS will have NO effect of tourist arrivals... So everyone just move on... Nothing here to see... Return to happy thoughts... Edited June 21, 2015 by sfokevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
