Zika arrives in Bangkok's central business district
---------------------------------------------------
21 cases of the Zika virus have been reported in Bangkok's Sathon
central business district, and officials are now watching for more
possible infections in several adjacent districts.
Dr Wantanee Wattana, deputy permanent secretary for the Bangkok
Metropolitan Administration (BMA), said those infected included a
formerly pregnant woman whose husband had just returned from
Singapore, local media reported on [Sat 10 Sep 2016].
The woman had a high temperature, rashes, joint pain and red eyes. She
contracted the virus in the 37th week of her pregnancy but has since
given birth and both the mother and her newborn are safe.
A survey found many mosquito-breeding areas within a 100-metre radius
of the family's residence. Health surveillance of infected people will
remain active in the area for the next 30 days and in districts
adjacent to Sathon.
Sathon borders Bang Kholaem, Bang Rak, Khlong Toei, Pathumwan and
Yannawa districts. Infected people are being advised to stay home for
30 days.
The Public Health Ministry reported earlier that there had been 5 Zika
patients a year on average in the country from 2012 to 2015. Zika is
of particular concern because it has been linked to birth defects,
with cases of microcephaly widespread in Central and South America.
About 20 other cases of the mosquito-borne virus have been reported
recently in Bung Kan, Chanthaburi, Chiang Mai and Phetchabun provinces
but control operations have proved effective, authorities said. -
מקרי מחלת זיקה בתאילנדדוקטור אנט שלום,
להבנתי מהכתבה, חוץ מבבנגקוק, הנגיף נפוץ כיום ב:
Bung Kan, Chanthaburi, Chiang Mai and Phetchabun
כלומר, אזורים שבעיקר בצפון המדינה
האם מכאן ניתן להסיק כי באזור האיים הסיכון נמוך מאוד?
תודה,
