Four Chinese airline passengers from China’s Hubei province, and one Thai citizen – a taxi driver – have now been confirmed as infected with the novel coronavirus. The announcement came from the Permanent Health Secretary Sukhum Karnchanapimai says in a briefing in Bangkok.
The latest announcement brought the current number of patient of confirmed coronavirus cases in Thailand to 19.
Of note, the taxi driver is the first instance of a local human-to-human viral transmission. The driver had never travelled to China, let alone since mid-December when the Wuhan coronavirus was first identified.
Since his diagnosis, Thai health officials have traced 13 people who had been in close contact with the taxi driver, but none have tested positive for the virus at this stage – the update from the deputy head of the disease control department, Tanarak Plipat.
“He does not have the record of travelling to China, and it is likely that he was infected by a sick traveller from China.”
Up to this announcement, all Thailand’s previous cases have been either Chinese tourists or Thai citizens who had visited China. The virus originated in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in Central China during the middle of December last year.
Coronavirus spreads via the air, and sitting in the same car is the best chance for the virus to circulate around the car.
Experts identified the issue, and warns everyone, not just in Thailand, but the whole world to clean their car AT LEAST ONCE every day.
If you're taking bus or taxi, there's a chance for you to be infected by this virus. You will never know if the person beside you is a carrier. This coronavirus can be hidden for days, or weeks.
There are numerous ways to clean the air, but most of them are using harmful chemicals. After researching, we finally found a fully natural way for all of us to clean the air.
Essential oils had been used since 1800s to kill viruses and bacterias up to 99.95% effectiveness, and they can be used to kill this harmful virus in 2020 too. So far, Tea Tree Oil has proven to be the best to kill coronavirus.
Antibacterial
The oil has been used for almost 100 years as a healing treatment in Australia, particularly for skin conditions. Today it is used for a number of conditions.
Tea tree oil is probably best known for its antibacterial activity.
Some research suggests that the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity associated with the oil comes from its ability to damage the cell walls of bacteria. More research is needed to understand how it might work.
Antiviral
Tea tree oil has antiviral properties that have proven to be effective against common pathogens. A 2001 study found that a combination of tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil worked effectively against the herpes simplex virus.
A 2013 study found that tea tree oil could prevent the spread of influenza. While tests have not yet been conducted on tea tree oil’s effectiveness against HPV, it’s certainly a possibility.
Air Purifier
Add a few drops of Tea Tree Oil to a Car Diffuser to purify the air naturally. For a scented boost, you can always add a few drops of another essential oil, such as lavender.
After searching for many reliable sources, we found a very durable and strong Car Diffuser that diffuses strong mist right after it is plugged into the car socket.
This SoothOil Car Diffuser is the perfect match, and the package comes along with one bottle of Tea Tree Oil too.
If you have multiple vehicles at home, we highly recommend to get one for each car.
