The COVID-19 outbreak seems like it’s here to stick around and with it comes more confirmed cases all over the world and more deaths.
Thailand is certainly no exception.
Everything About Thailand’s First Covid-19 Death Who Also Has Dengue Fever
Thailand has just reported its first death due to the COVID-19. According to The Straits Times, Thailand health officials announced this on 1 March.
Suwannachai Wattanayingcharoenchai who is the director-general of the Department of Disease Control said that the victim is a 35-year-old retail worker who also had dengue fever aside from the COVID-19.
The patient had been hospitalised for almost a month but passed away on 29 February after he suffered multiple organ failure.
The health ministry is conducting an investigation into how the COVID-19 led to his death.
Suwanchi said at a news conference, “This was a case of local transmission, and he was at risk because he had exposure to Chinese tourists.”
The adviser to the Department of Disease Control said tests for the coronavirus came back negative since Feb 16 but “the damage was already done to his body” from the earlier bout of infection by the new disease.

Thailand’s Covid-19 Situation
Thus far, Thailand has reported 42 confirmed cases of the COVID-19. 30 patients have since been discharged.
To date, almost 3,000 people have succumbed and died from the virus and most of these victims have occurred in China.
Thailand’s National Committee on Communicable Diseases has implemented new measures to try to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Health officials can now ask those who they suspect of being infected to be quarantined and to undergo treatment.
Officials can also order the closure of venues and public areas to contain the virus.
The Situation In Singapore
With NEA’s announcement of a new dengue strain that can potentially infect more than Covid-19, Singaporeans have to be more careful in maintaining their personal hygiene and doing the Mozzie wipeout.
As of 1 March, four new COVID-19 cases were reported and while three of them were related to the new cluster at Wizlearn Technologies, the source of infection for one of them is still unknown.
