The French woman left the hotel on Oct 15 and returned to her home on Koh Samui, where she developed a fever on Oct 17. The two infected male patients tested positive on Oct 15 and Oct 19 respectively. The results will help us come closer to answering how the French lady became infected with the disease. We need a few days to carry out the genetic testing," Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, acting chief of the Department of Disease Control told media on Tuesday. The department announced on Tuesday that the Siam Mandarina Hotel would no longer be used for returnees.
