Thai navy debunks rumour of ‘uncontrollable cluster’ at Sattahip base


.

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Rumours circulating on social media that Sattahip Naval Base in Chonburi province has reported an 'uncontrollable' Covid-19 cluster and that the authorities are unable to control it are certainly not true, Royal Thai Navy spokesman Vice Admiral Pokkhrong Monthatphalin (pic) said on Wednesday (Jan 5).

“All infected patients have been treated in isolation under Public Health Ministry standards, while all areas of Sattahip Naval Base have employed strict disease control measures,” Pokkhrong said.

“People should not panic over the rumours. They should only follow the latest updates from the Royal Thai Navy or related government agencies regarding the Covid-19 situation,” he advised.
