BANGKOK, Feb 1 (TNA) – A total of 13 Thais, who
had been earlier stranded in China’s Chongqing
city arrived home late yesterday after seeking
assistance from a Thai consulate following the spread of coronavirus in China.
Preventive measures to
contain the deadly virus are mapped out strictly in Chongqing and 13 Thais had sought help from the Thai consulate in Chengdu and the media.
The Thai consulate later had
provided them plane tickets and they arrived Suvarnabhumi International Airport
on Friday evening.
In order to curb the
disease in Thailand, doctors from the Public Health Ministry on
standby at the airport around the clock rushed for medical check-up on the13 persons upon their arrival.
Initial medical examination found that they were not
infected by the virus.
Doctors, however, will continue
to monitor them until it is certain that they are free of the disease. (TNA)
