| @indiablooms | Oct 18, 2022, at 12:20 am

Bangkok/UNI: Thailand's health authorities said on Monday that the Southeast Asian nation has confirmed its 11th case of monkeypox.

The infected person is a 40-year-old Thai man who worked in a massage parlor in Qatar and returned to Thailand, said Tares Krassanairawiwong, acting Director-General of the Disease Control Department.

He started showing symptoms on Oct. 8, while he was still in Qatar.

He took a flight back to Thailand on Saturday, where he had an assessment in a local hospital and was transferred to a disease center for further diagnosis, Tares said.

Lab testing confirmed the monkeypox infection, making him the country's 11th confirmed case, he added, while stating that further investigation of the case is underway in an effort to identify any other potential infections.

Thailand detected its first case of monkeypox in July this year.

Deputy Director General of the Disease Control Department Sophon Iamsirithavorn said, "The 10 previous patients have fully recovered."
