More than 100 medical staff at many state hospitals have been forced into self-quarantine after patients failed to disclose they had been in contact with infected people.
Khon Kaen Hospital on Friday ordered 105 medical staff to quarantine immediately. These personnel have been in contact with Covid-19 patients, so they are now treated as a high-risk group and need to go into a 14-day quarantine, said Dr Nataya Mills, director of Khon Kaen Hospital.
The hospital had been forced to stop receiving referred cases and also to temporarily close two medical wards and one paediatric ward, she said.
