#Thailand #Health Minister #AnutinCharnvirakul met with @WHOThailand rep. Mr Anutin disinfected the media microphones before #WHO #DanielKertez said it's "concerned" that #covid19 #coronavirus cases increasing in country, concerned transmission is "more widespread" in community

@WHOThailand rep #DanielKertez says as #covid19 #coronavirus becomes more widespread in community, #Thailand's measures to increase #SocialDistancing becomes even more important & that government must continue to enhance its "prudent measures"

@WHOThailand rep #DanielKertez says #Thailand has mounted "aggressive public #health response" like identifying, isolating, treating, tracing #Covid19 #coronavirus #โควิด19 #ไวรัสโคโรน่าสายพันธุ์ใหม่2019 cases but urges authorities to continue enhancing measures

@WHOThailand rep #DanielKertez also emphasised multiple times that it's now more important than ever to enhance #SocialDistancing of 1 metre & for #Thailand individuals to play a part by practicing personal hygiene of frequent hand-washing, not touching face & social etiquette.

But @WHOThailand rep #DanielKertez stopped short of advising on whether #Thailand should lock down country or shut its borders when asked. Was only willing to urge #Thailand to continue to identify, trace, treat, isolate #covid19 #coronavirus #ไวรัสโคโรน่าสายพันธุ์ใหม่2019 cases
