CORONA VIRUS UPDATE The traveller from Thailand who was being sought by the authorities for testing, and presented himself today, has tested negative to the virus. He has been discharged from the Wilkins Hospital.
The country had plunged into a widespread panic after the government had announced the missing Thai man had come at Wilkins Hospital displaying signs of Coronavirus, with an elevated body temperature of 38.6 degrees Celsius.
The man is said to have fled before he could be further tested, a move which was seen as detrimental to the health of citizens in the country. However, the situation has been resolved amicably.

The doctors diagnosed her symptoms as not for the Covid-19 case definition set by the World Health Organisation (WHO). They administered antibiotics for ordinary pneumonia and she has since recovered. The Ministry of Information also confirmed the information on their Twitter account
