"Dear friends, As some of you may know, both Thailand and Myanmar are currently experiencing severe epidemics of COVID-19. Tak Province of Thailand, where Mae Tao Clinic is located, is currently seeing relatively high numbers of cases daily. As a precaution, starting on July 15th, most clinical services at the clinic were suspended indefinitely in order to protect the health and safety of our staff members, their families, and all the communities we serve. We have received inquiries from our friends, supporters, media and the community as to the current situation, including the status of our services and the safety of MTC staff, partner organizations, their family members and the community. Thank you for your concerns. We have also received countless supports from the community, partner organizations and overseas. We cannot thank you enough for the heartwarming support. Despite the challenges, we are putting our utmost effort to mitigate the evolving situation and implement strict guidelines in areas in need to prevent further transmissions. We would like to share with you the latest update on the current situation, our responses, challenges and our essential needs to continue carrying out public health activities. In the document, there are key contact persons in three different categories: general inquiries and donations; media inquiries; and clinical inquiries. Please contact us should you need further information. We will make sure that you will be kept informed on the most up-to-date information as it becomes available..."
