A new cluster infection linked to a super-spreader in Samut Sakhon has resulted in at least 87 coronavirus cases around the country, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) warned on Monday.
The super-spreader was identified as a female pork vendor at a market in Samut Sakhon who lives in Amphawa, in the neighbouring province of Samut Songkhram.
