However, assistant spokeswoman of the government’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), Dr Panprapa Yongtrakul reported that there have been 6 new COVID-19 cases found on 18th June 2020.
The new cases include 5 male students who were found asymptomatic, from Saudi Arabia and 1 female student with fever, from India. They will all return home as soon as they are fully recovered.
The total number of cases in Thailand stands at 3,141.
We’re glad to see the number of local cases being at zero for almost a month now. However, we still need to strictly follow all preventive measures as the COVID-19 is still around. Stay tuned for updates.
