MAE HONG SON – A health network in border areas that is unbearable.. ATK examination of people in the Salween waterfront communities near the refugee camp found 100 positive results, but the number of Mae Hong Son cases hasn’t moved. The province has been declared a 100% covid-free area again.
Pongphiphat Meebenjamas, a health volunteer in the Salween River Basin, said that the outbreak of the coronavirus is now spreading in the Thai-Myanmar border communities in Sop Moei district, Mae Hong Son province. Villagers are sick More than 100 were randomly assigned with an ATK test kit.
But the province but did not count the number of people in this group as infected It states that those who have not been confirmed by the hospital will not be counted as patients of the province. which he saw that it was impossible for villagers in remote villages to travel down to check at the district hospital especially during the rainy season when the dirt road is dirty And some villages have to cruise – continue the car.
Mr. Pongpipat stated that Only Ban Sop Moei, Mae Sam Lap Subdistrict, recently a group of teachers have been working in the area and are sick. After leaving the village, he was examined at the district hospital and found that he was infected with COVID. But for the villagers in the village this time is sick. When more than 100 ATK test kits are randomly tested, they are positive, but it would be impossible for local authorities such as the SAO to cope on their own. Actions and reinforcements from the provinces are needed.
“At least 3 communities, namely Ban Huai Ma-O, Ban Sop Moei, Ban Pha La-ue, Mae Sam Lae Subdistrict, Sop Moei District, excluding nearby houses such as Ban Pu Ta, Ban Ko-Akee, Ban Boon Le and the pier. At Mae Sam Lap’s house at the risk of becoming a large cluster.”
Mr Pongphiphat said that most recently, Mae Sam Lab Subdistrict, Sop Moei District, Mae Hong Son Province had to close almost all communities, lock down, prohibiting people from entering and leaving to prevent the spread of the epidemic. which the condition occurred as the villagers were released on a raft disease control officer Frontline personnel have to work hard. Proactive screening to separate infected people from the community and family But the lack of ATK testing kits, and also lack of masks, medicines, some people know the news, they gradually send masks – Andrographis paniculata capsules to the villagers. which has only the initial drug which is not enough
“The groups that are worried are the elderly and young children. Some families are connected to the whole family. A two-year-old child is sick, fussed, doesn’t drink milk, and his mother is sick as well, but he has to take care of each other accordingly.”
Mr. Pongpipat added that What should be done is to mobilize personnel for testing in the community as soon as possible in order to isolate the infected person clearly. If a tool kit or testing kit is broken, it should be mobilized from a central location. as well as understanding the community about practices and prevention in accordance with public health principles. Because this case is considered a large cluster that spreads widely. which local agencies such as Mae Sam Lap Subdistrict Administrative Organization has brought dry food rice to be sent to families who are infected, but in fact the impact is on the whole community. due to unable to travel outside the area Can’t buy food from outside anymore.
It also found that images of detention in waiting areas or schools in Sop Moei district were also published. After the students go home for the holidays and come back to school. As a result, villagers in Sop Moei and Mae Sariang districts are in a state of panic. There was a lack of confidence in the performance of some officers who reported the situation and the number was slow. So I’m not sure if the number that the Mae Hong Son Provincial Communicable Disease Control Center reports each day is true or not. In addition, the number of patients detected after the easing of measures has increased.
Today, a group of doctors and nurses at the front line have gathered to bring items and medical supplies to the targeted areas where the epidemic is found in Sop Moei District, Mae Hong Son Province, asking not to let reporters make news because it is Working outside of work hours and coming together to help communities that are suffering from the Covid-19 epidemic. and reasoned that for the speed of work to keep up with the event No need to wait for orders from management.
