The American magazine “Newsweek” said that “a medical examiner” had died as a result of being infected with Covid 19 after he picked up the infection from a corpse, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind.
The magazine noted that the doctor was working forensic medicine in the Thai capital, Bangkok, according to a letter published in the forensic journal. No other details were provided, including the name and age.
Co-author of the center was co-authored by Won Sriwitgtalai RVT I am in Bangkok, Feruj and Ioannikit University DY patil Hindi. They wrote that, according to their best knowledge, this is the first record of infection and death in Covid’s disease 19 among medical personnel in the forensic unit.
The letter was written on March 20, when there were 272 confirmed cases of the disease in Thailand, including two medical workers, a forensic specialist and a nursing assistant.
According to Johns Hopkins University, the number of confirmed cases in Thailand has reached 2,613. All over the world, more than 1.9 million people have been diagnosed with Covid 19, nearly 120,000 people have died, and 457,500 have recovered while the Corona virus has reached almost every country in the world.
In their letter, the two doctors wrote that the forensic worker had caught the SARS Cove 2 virus that causes Covid 19, and most cases in Thailand were from abroad and the bacterium did not spread widely in society. In addition, forensic specialists do not have much opportunity to contact infected patients, but they may have contact with biological samples and dead bodies.
At present, there is no data on the exact number of bodies infected with Covid 19 because there is no routine practice of examining Covid 19 in the bodies of the dead in Thailand. However, infection control and global caution are essential.
