The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has issued an update to affirm travellers in Thailand and around the world that Thai authorities are implementing strict measures to prevent the spread of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the country.
Thailand is working with the World Health Organisation and other countries to further understand infections caused by this new coronavirus and to ensure that they are prevented and controlled so that travellers can travel worry-free around the country.
As of today, there are eight confirmed cases in Thailand. Five of them (four Chinese and a Thai) recovered and returned homes. The other three Chinese patients remain at medical facilities, and their conditions are improving. So far, no one has died from 2019-nCoV pneumonia in Thailand.
The disease, which is believed to have originated in a seafood market in the Chinese central city of Wuhan, has infected a few thousand people across China and has also spread to other countries, including the U.S., where five cases have been confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Chinese officials have confirmed on Wednesday that the number of people infected by a new form of coronavirus in the country has reached to 5,974.
