Four non-medical staff at Siriraj Hospital are infected with the coronavirus, the hospital said Tuesday.
The infected staff are clerks that worked in a non-medical building that is used for lecturing, performing biopsies, and the mortuary, said the teaching hospital affiliated with Mahidol University.
The staff were not infected from patients within the hospital, but from the communities where they live.
“The four cases have been accepted into medical care and there are now 60 low-risk cases” who have been quarantined, said Deputy Dean Naris Kitnaron, referring to people who had been in contact with the infected staff.
