BNH Hospital confirmed that four of its health staff working in an alternative state quarantine (ASQ) unit in Bangkok have tested positive for Covid-19.

The announcement on Wednesday came shortly after the Department of Disease Control reported that some health workers in alternative state quarantine had contracted Covid-19 after one of them took the temperature of a family of three in ASQ between November 24 and 27.

“The infected workers have been separated and treated under strict protocols of the hospital and supervision of the Public Health Ministry, while their close contacts have been traced,” BNH said.

“Other staff who carry a high risk of having close contact with the infected staff have also been quarantined, while those carrying a low risk were tested and all have negative results,” it said.

“The hospital has also employed preventive measures to make sure that all areas of the facility are infection-free,” it added. “If you are still concerned about the risk of infection at the hospital, you can opt to receive consultation services through our virtual platform online.”
