A South Korean military officer, who participated in the planning of the Cobra Gold military exercise in Thailand’s eastern province of Rayong, was found to be infected with COVID-19 upon his return to South Korea, Dr. Walairat Chaifoo, director of the Epidemiology Division of the Diseases Control Department, told the media today (Wednesday).

 

The discovery of the infection has prompted Thai health officials to launch an immediate investigation, to try to determine whether he was infected while in Thailand, and to try to track down those who were in close contact with the officer.

 

The officer in question tested positive on November 9th, after his return to South Korea.  According to the timeline, he arrived in Thailand on October 17th and took a hotel car from the airport to his hotel for quarantine, during which he was cleared of COVID-19 in two tests.

Still trying so hard to say he imported it when he came here, although he passed through quarantine and was then here for 2 more weeks.  You know the virus is here Thailand, and many are just asymptomatic.  If you tested more randomly you might see it, but you do not because your afraid of finding out the truth.  

All suppositions. You dont know the truth any more than any of us.

Considering this is now the third known case of in-country transmission, I think it's safe to say the virus is rapidly spreading

 

In how many months, 55555, do you even know what the word "rapidly" means?
