Self-quarantine Phichit students after their return from South Korea 

 

 

A group of students attending high school in Thailand’s northern province of Phichit have been told to stay home for 14 days, after the school’s management discovered that they have just returned from a trip to South Korea.

 

Mr. Boontham Onchan, director of Phichit Pittayyakhom School, said that they learned of the group’s South Korean trip, from February 15th to 19th, three days after they resumed classes at the school, adding that he immediately ordered all the returnees to stay home and notified provincial health officials, although none of the students have yet shown any flu-like symptoms.

 

Dr. Pensri Manovachirasan, deputy director of Phichit Provincial Hospital, appealed to the public not to panic, but to keep themselves in good shape and to avoid crowded places.

 

She said that there has not been a COVID-19 case in the province so far.
