Authorities in Phuket have confirmed that reports circulating online about seven Indian nationals being infected with the Nipah virus and quarantined at a local hospital are false. The claims, which spread rapidly across social media in recent days, caused concern among local residents and tourists in the province.

The rumors specifically alleged that seven Indian citizens had tested positive for the Nipah virus and were being held in isolation at Siriroj Hospital in Phuket. These reports prompted swift action from local health officials and the Phuket Provincial Public Relations Office, who worked together to verify the facts and reassure the public.

Following an urgent investigation, officials confirmed that there have been no cases of Nipah virus infection reported at Siriroj Hospital or any other medical facilities in Phuket. Both public and private hospitals across the province emphasized that they have not received or treated any patients with the virus as described in the online reports.

Local health authorities reiterated that Phuket’s hospitals and international disease control checkpoints, particularly at Phuket International Airport, are maintaining strict screening measures for travelers arriving from high-risk areas. These protocols are in line with guidelines from the Ministry of Public Health to prevent the importation and spread of infectious diseases. Hospitals in Phuket have also prepared isolation rooms, personal protective equipment, and laboratory testing procedures as precautionary measures, but no suspected cases of Nipah virus have been detected.

The Phuket Provincial Public Relations Office and the editorial team at Sanook News both clarified that the information about Indian nationals being infected was never published on their official websites or social media channels. The authorities warned that the misleading reports were fabricated and urged the public not to share or forward unverified information that could cause unnecessary panic.

The spread of false information about infectious diseases can have significant impacts on Phuket’s tourism industry, as well as the confidence of local residents. Health officials encourage people to rely on updates from official sources and to remain vigilant but calm.

Authorities will continue to monitor the situation and maintain readiness in accordance with national health standards. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed through official announcements and to avoid consuming or sharing unverified news.
