Head's Lines | 17 January 2023

As we wait for school inspection, our plans for a safe reopening are ready and available for you to read. Part of the plan is to calculate how many children will return to physical school by surveying the STA community. Alongside this, Dr Erik, a new STA parent who has vast knowledge and experience in Infectious Diseases/Regenerative Medicine has been kind enough to review our reopening plans and offer helpful feedback. Also, Dr Erik has provided very useful answers to some frequently asked questions about Covid-19 and children.

This is perhaps the greatest current uncertainty circulating the world right now and is especially sensitive to those of us in Thailand who look forward to sending our children back to the classroom.

Dr Erik Fleischman is an STA parent and an Infectious Diseases/Regenerative Medicine specialist from the USA. He has been working with epidemic diseases around the world for nearly 30 years including HIV/AIDS, Ebola, H1N1, SARS, MERS, Tuberculosis, Malaria and Hepatitis. Dr Erik has agreed to answer FAQs from the STA community...
