#Thailand #DPM & #Health Minister #Anutin at presser announcing 3 new cases of a 65 yr-old grandpa with fever for 3 days before hospital admission, a grandma & 8-yr-old boy with no travel history but from same family. Total #coronavirus #COVIDー19 cases in country now at 40

2nd day in a row that #Thailand #Health Ministry announced new #coronavirus #COVIDー19 cases. Total cases in country is 40. So far, 24 of them have already been discharged, 16 still in hospital.

The elderly couple who make up 2 of the 3 new #Coronavirus #COVIDー19 cases in #Thailand had come back from #Hokkaido #Japan. #Thai #DPM, #Health Minister urges citizens to not be enticed by cheap airfares to travel overseas during this period

#Thailand #Health Minister #Anutin urges citizens to stay, travel within country & help boost local economy instead of traveling abroad due to cheap flights. Added the air tickets may be cheap but the #coronavirus #COVIDー19 treatment if necessary will be even more costly

#Thailand #Health Minister #Anutin called on all to exercise responsibility as 1 man apparently returned from #Japan with new #coronavirus #COVIDー19 cases of the elderly couple but had allegedly denied going overseas resulting in family members who travelled spreading disease

#Thailand #Health Minister #Anutin says government can put in place all the measures to tackle #coronavirus #COVIDー19 but citizens have to play their part & declare their travel history, visit doctor if they're unwell & stay out of public areas if unwell

#Thailand #DPM & #Health Minister #Anutin at #Coronavirus #COVIDー19 presser clearly not taking any chances and leading by example as he sanitizes his hands & encourages others to do the same

#Thailand #DPM #Anutin, when asked if citizens should avoid gathering in public spaces to challenge government & show displeasure as they've done in last few days due to dissolution of #opposition @FWPthailand, he said people have right to protest but wear #masks, use sanitizers
