(Bangkok Post file photo)A Kuwaiti man has been identified as a probable Mers case in Thailand although testing has not been conclusive, according to the Public Health Ministry. "Clinically, this man is a probable case and must receive proper care. The doctor stressed although the man was only a probable case, all three of the family must be taken care of by the highest standards. He is the second case in 2016 and the third since Thailand started monitoring the disease." A technician prepares a sample to be tested for Mers after a Thai returned from the Middle East with flu symptoms at the laboratory at Bamrasnaradura Infectious Disease Institute in Bangkok on Feb 5, 2016.
