BANGKOK (AFP): Two immigration officers at Bangkok's main airport have Covid-19 and may have handled the passports of visitors to Thailand, a health official said on Wednesday (March 11).

The men, both working at Suvarnabhumi airport, fell ill on March 7 and 8 respectively and potentially came into contact with arriving passengers in the days before their diagnosis.

One of the officers was among a team leading health screenings of Thai returnees from South Korea - which has reported the second-most Covid-19 infections in Asia after China. "They were not working at the same spots," Sopon Iamsirithaworn of the Disease Control Department said.Article type: free
