BANGKOK – A flight from Russia arrived in Thailand on Saturday morning (April 11th), bringing 34 Thais back to their homeland. They all went through the screening procedure at Suvarnabhumi airport, where three of them were found to have a fever and were transferred to hospitals. The other returning Thais were taken to the designated state quarantine facility.
The special flight from Moscow arrived in Bangkok at 9.45 a.m. bringing Thai citizens home. The 34 returnees passed strict screening procedures in Russia before being allowed to get on board. However, three of them were found to be suffering from a high fever when they arrived in Thailand. The health officials separated them from the group, and took them to two different hospitals for further checkups.
The other returnees were taken to a state quarantine facility in Bangkok, where they will be staying for 14 days to get a clearance. They were all cooperative throughout the process. The officials handled the group with caution, using disinfectant spray to sanitize the returnees’ belongings.
Another special flight from Japan arrived in Bangkok in the afternoon. The returnees on that flight, went through the same procedures and are now being quarantined at a state facility in the Rama Nine area. (NNT)
