BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand on Monday reported three new coronavirus cases, all imported, marking 28 days without local transmission, a senior official said.

 

The three new cases were Thai nationals returning from India and were detected in state quarantine, said spokesman for the government's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration, Taweesin Wisanuyothin.

 

Thailand has so far recorded 58 deaths related to COVID-19 among 3,151 infections, of which 3,022 patients have recovered.

 

Taweesin said the administration was coordinating with Myanmar authorities regarding 23 coronavirus cases found among migrants deported from Thailand.

Hope Thailand makes it clear to Myanmar that the 23 cases they imported from Thailand, had to come from immigrants to Thailand. There are no local transmissions here in Thailand, so anything else would be impossible.

Only Thais being tested appears to be entering Thailand from another country.  The outcome is laughable and predictable...

I'm talking about Thailand, not other countries of which I have no knowledge of their strategies of confinement.
Thailand says it has no domestic cases for 28 days, all returnees are quarantined.

Where will the BOOM come from ?
