Thailand’s lone MERS patient cleared of virus


Thailand Ministry of Public Health on Monday said a 75-year-old Omani man who was Thailand’s only known MERS patient has recovered.
The ministry’s Head of Disease Control, Sophon Mekthon, said in a statement that the latest tests on the patient showed up negative for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome virus.
“The man will be released from quarantine but monitored closely,” Mekthon said.
Mekthon also said all people who came in contact with the patient had been accounted for, and that the ministry was monitoring 36 of them as a precaution.
