The Nigerian man had fled Phuket after learning of his diagnosis.

It comes the same day the World Health Organization officials in Geneva declared the monkeypox outbreak as a global health emergency on Saturday.

His getaway sparked a manhunt across Thailand and authorities said Saturday his phone signal was detected in a northeastern province bordering Cambodia.
