Two new virus cases in 24 hours, both in state quarantine

Thailand saw two new confirmed Covid-19 cases without any deaths in the past 24 hours, Dr Panprapa Yongtrakul, deputy spokeswoman of the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said today (June 9).

Of the two cases, one is a 22-year-old male student who didn’t show any symptoms on his return from Saudi Arabia, and who went into quarantine in Pattani. He was found to be infected after a second test on June 7. The other case is a 31-year-old officer who came home from the Netherlands and went into quarantine in Bangkok. Her first test was a “weak positive” and she was confirmed on June 8 to have contracted the virus.


One patient has fully recovered and returned home in the past 24 hours.
As of today, the number of confirmed cases in the country stands at 3,121. Of these, 90 patients are under treatment, 2,973 have recovered and been discharged, and 58 have died.


Dr Panprapa is concerned virus infections will increase as a number of companies have called in their employees to resume working from the office. The employees have been instructed to keep wearing face masks and avoid crowding especially during lunch.


Globally, the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases has reached 7.1 million, increasing by 107,000 in a 24-hour period, and about 408,000 deaths.
