Thailand is facing the threat of another virus-causing outbreaks around the world after it lifted COVID 19 travel restrictions.
The kingdom is now guarding Monkeypox, a disease that has never reached Thai shores, but is spreading quickly in Europe, the United States, Australia and the Middle East, which is important tourism markets for Thailand.
In the face of this growing threat to public health, the Disease Control Department DCD has set up an emergency operations center to monitor the global situation, tighten border controls, and plan for a possible monkeypox outbreak here.
