Impact of COVID-19 on our Scholars

Throughout the outbreak of COVID-19, our scholars have been working on the frontlines, protecting their communities from this global threat. We are so proud of their work educating the villagers about COVID-19 and keeping them healthy. Kornkamol and Patcharapon, public health workers in Mae Sariang, provide us with statements on how COVID-19 has impacted them and their work as healthcare providers. 

​"COVID 19 has a huge impact on public health workers because we are always in contact with infected patients. Our duty is to follow occupational health guidelines and safety in the workplace, we avoid going to some areas where the virus is spreading. We follow the guidelines for assessment, isolation, and treatment of patients by socially distancing during services. Ministry of public health suggests public health workers and patients wear face masks and use soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizer in order to clean our hands. I meet patients who can not go to the hospital in their homes. When I see them, I have to keep myself safe by wearing a face mask every time. Moreover, I have to give important information about COVID-19 disease to other villagers so they can understand the dangers of coronavirus and can protect themselves from the virus."

"Due to the spread of Coronavirus, I have to wear self-protection, such as plastic gloves and face masks at work because I am a public health worker. I always wash my hands by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and keeping social distance. I work at a COVID screening point in Mae Sariang district, northern Thailand. My duties are screening people entering Mae Sariang for COVID-19."
