People in the border district of Betong, Yala province, have been warned not to lower their guard and to wear face masks every time they are outdoors after a Thai woman, in local quarantine after her return from Malaysia with two friends on November 25th, tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday (Thursday).

 

Suriya Boonphan, the senior assistant district chief, said today that the woman had a fever, cough and muscle pains.

 

In the northern province of Chiang Rai, where ten COVID-19 cases were confirmed yesterday, checkpoints, manned by troops, health and local officials, have been deployed along a 195-km stretch of border, between Mae Sai and Chiang Saen districts, to stem the illegal influx of Thais and migrants from Myanmar.
