According to the report, the body belonged to a 40-year-old Burmese man named Phu Sao. He was wearing only a red long-sleeved shirt.  

Sarawut Chang-ngern, an emergency responder who rescued the body, estimated that the victim had been dead for two to three days. Previously, Sarawut had gotten a missing person report for a boat worker who had fallen into the sea near Koh Pai and gone missing and thought it was the same person.

Initially, the body was transferred to the Chonburi Hospital for a preliminary autopsy.

Anti-Monkeypox measures introduced at Thai airports. As smallpox is believed to have been eradicated a long time ago, Thailand does not have any reserves of the vaccine, which can also protect against Monkeypox, but officials will try to secure a supply, said Dr. Chakkarat, adding that the officials are trying to find a pharmaceutical manufacturer which is still producing the vaccine. | Thai PBS World

Anti-Monkeypox measures introduced at Thai airports
views  236

Overseas arrivals, from countries where Monkeypox infections have been detected, are now screened for symptoms, such as blisters, by health officials as they walk through the scanners at Thailand's international airports. They are then issued with a "health beware" notice, in QR code form, as the country steps up measures to prevent the import of the disease from overseas.

According to the Department of Disease Control, all travellers arriving from abroad are advised to see a doctor immediately if they develop a fever and blisters.

Hospitals are required to take samples from the traveller with a suspected infection and send them to the Department of Medical Sciences for analysis. A report must also be filed.

Health officials at international airports have been told to watch for overseas arrivals from central African countries, such as Nigeria and the Republic of Congo, and from the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal, according to Dr. Chakkarat Pittayawonganon, director of the Epidemiology Division of the Department of Disease Control.

A health emergency operations centre has already been set up to cope with the disease.

According to the World Health Organization, Monkeypox has symptoms very similar to those seen in the past in smallpox patients, although it is clinically less severe. It is caused by the Monkeypox virus, which belongs to the orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family. The name Monkeypox originates from the initial discovery of the virus in monkeys in a Danish laboratory in 1958. The first human case was identified in a child in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970.

Over 100 suspected and confirmed cases have been reported since late last year in Europe and North America, but they have not been severe.

The WHO also said it does not have evidence that the Monkeypox virus has mutated. The disease does not spread easily between people, but can be transmitted through close contact or contact with items used by an infected person.

As smallpox is believed to have been eradicated a long time ago, Thailand does not have any reserves of the vaccine, which can also protect against Monkeypox, but officials will try to secure a supply, said Dr. Chakkarat, adding that the officials are trying to find a pharmaceutical manufacturer which is still producing the vaccine.

 How to stay safe from monkeypox

The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has issued guidelines on how people can protect themselves against becoming infected with monkeypox.

How to stay safe from monkeypox

Cases of the disease have now been reported in 15 countries, prompting fears it could spread to Thailand after a surge in tourist arrivals this month as travel restrictions eased.

The DDC has also established an emergency operations centre to monitor the global spread of monkeypox and prevent it from entering the country. The centre is keeping a close eye on foreign arrivals, especially those from high-risk countries that have reported monkeypox cases – namely Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, United States, Canada, Australia, Israel, Netherlands, Switzerland and Greece.

"Monkeypox spreads through close contact with infected people or animals," said DDC Epidemiology Bureau chief Dr Jakrat Phittayawong-anon. He added that no direct treatments are available for the disease, though no cases of monkeypox had been reported in Thailand so far.

"Symptoms to look out for include fever and pus blisters, especially among travellers from central Africa, where the disease originated, and from 15 countries that have reported cases of monkeypox," Jakrat said.

He added that health-information cards will be handed to all travellers from at-risk countries, asking them to visit the nearest hospital if they suffer monkeypox symptoms, and notify authorities of their travel history.

The DDC's five simple steps to stay safe from monkeypox:

1. Avoid contact with blood, fluid or pus from mammals.

2. Make sure meat is cooked thoroughly.

3. Wash hands regularly and immediately after touching animals or suspected human cases.

4. Do not keep wild animals as pets.

5. On return from an at-risk country, remain in isolation for 21 days to monitor for symptoms.
