BANGKOK, Feb 12 (TNA) — Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai ordered the Thai embassy in Beijing to take good care of three Thai people stranded in Wuhan city of China.
The group of three did not join 138 Thai evacuees who returned to the homeland on Feb 4. One of the three is a woman who overstays her visa and has yet to pay her fine. Another is a woman who is recovering from fever. The other one is a man who completely recovered from fever.
Mr Don said that the embassy was sending moral support to the three people and officials from a university were sending food to the women daily. Meanwhile, the stranded man was able to cook in his residence.
“I have ordered the embassy to take care of Thai people in other Chinese cities as well. No one would be left behind no matter where they are, in virus-risk areas or not. Everyone will receive care from the Foreign Ministry. I stressed that the embassy must closely monitor situations so that it can quickly offer assistance when it is needed,” the foreign minister said.
Chinese authorities were aware of the situations of Thai people there and also provided help. Safety would be the most important factor for the possibility of their return to Thailand, Mr Don said. (TNA)
