Sa Kaeo disinfects cargo trucks to prevent COVID-19 spread

Customs officials and livestock officials at Ban Klong Luk border crossing in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaeo, have set up a checkpoint where all cargo trucks passing through from Cambodia must be sprayed with disinfectant.
The border crossing generally sees 300-400 incoming cargo trucks from Cambodia every day. The disinfectant spraying measure has been implemented with good results over about a month, to prevent possible contamination of the cargo by the coronavirus, or by the drivers themselves.
Mr Yuthana Sophee, a senior veterinarian at Sa Kaeo Animal Quarantine Center said today the disinfectant used has been certified for its effectiveness in killing off viruses that cause COVID-19, Ebola, and SARS. They are also using a hydrogen peroxide plus coconut oil solution to disinfect the interior of the trucks’ cabins.
