The physicians in the emergency response team will be trained to deal with patients uffering from infection and about 4,000 guidebooks on preventive measures and recognition of the disease will also be published to raise people’s vigilance. Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, confirmed that there had, as yet, been no reported cases of infection in the country, but Thailand remains on high alert against the disease and the authorities would continue to be watchful for travelers with suspicious symptoms at airports. Thai Airways (THAI) takes measures to protect against the Ebola virus. Sqn.Ldr. Pongpeera Paisarnkulwong, Vice President of Aviation Safety, Security and Standards, stated that THAI is taking preventive measures to ensure the safety of its passengers and employees. The measures THAI is taking on board and on the ground are similar to the preventative measures taken during the SARS outbreak in 2003 and during the bird flu outbreak in 2004. Those measures resulted in prevention of the spread of the outbreaks, earning THAI a commendation from the World Health Organization. Additionally, THAI does not operate to any of the three African countries including Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, which experienced the outbreak of the Ebola virus. THAI operates to only Johannesburg in South Africa, which has not had any reports on the outbreak. Early symptoms of infection include a sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat. These symptoms can appear between 2 to 21 days after infection./. |
