BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): A doctor from Chulalongkorn Hospital has advised people who have just returned from countries at high risk of Covid-19 infection to refrain from going to a hospital right away unless they display symptoms of the new coronavirus pneumonia.
Dr Wassamon Chantharabenjaku said: “After you come back from countries with high risk of infection, it is recommended to self-quarantine at home for at least 14 days and monitor for symptoms like fever, coughing, runny nose and panting.
“There is no point of receiving an exam when you haven’t shown any symptoms of Covid-19 yet, ” she explained. “While in self-quarantine, do wash your hands regularly with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitiser, ” the doctor recommended.
