TWO additional Covid-19 cases have been found at the same alternative state quarantine (ASQ) facility in Samut Prakan province where the infected 57-year-old Frenchwoman stayed before flying to Koh Samui and found to be infected there last week, Sanook.com reported this afternoon (Oct. 27).

Dr Sophon Iamsirithaworn, director of the Department of General Communicable Disease, said an inspection of this quarantine facility revealed two more foreign Covid-19 cases, an Asian male and a European, with both coming down with this disease after the mandatory 14-day quarantine period.

Both of them fell ill in the same period but it is as yet unclear whether there is a connection, he said, adding that both are being taken care of by doctors.

Meanwhile the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced at 11 a.m. today that there were three more coronavirus cases over the past 24 hours, with all of them coming from overseas and now placed in state quarantine.

This takes the Covid-19 totals for Thailand to 3,746 cases, 3,551 patients who have recovered with eight new additions, while 136 people remain under treatment and death toll stays unchanged at 59.
