While health officials across Thailand are monitoring Covid-19, doctors in Chanthaburi are trying to figure out why so many residents have diarrhoea. A provincial public health official is now advising people to watch what they eat.
Locals have reached out to each other on social media, trying to figure out why so many people, even those travelling through the province, have to unexpectedly go number two. One wrote…“What happened? The every resident in Chanthaburi has diarrhoea at the same time. Take care and get well soon everyone.”
Another claimed local hospitals are running out of beds because so many people are being treated for diarrhoea. Staff at drugstores in the province also told Thai media that many people have come in to buy medicine to treat diarrhoea.
Some think it might be the water they are drinking. Some guess it might be an effect from the chemical fertiliser…
