The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) in Chon Buri yesterday ordered the closure of all entertainment hangouts after the province reported 141 new cases, while Chiang Mai saw a daily spike of almost 200 in one day.
The website of the Chon Buri provincial public health office reported that the 141 new cases included three clusters — two of which were linked to entertainment venues in Pattaya and in Bangkok.
The first cluster which emerged at the Flintstone pub had 54 new cases, bringing its tally to 90. The second cluster had two new cases contracting the virus from a family who had been to the Bangkok International Motor Show. This cluster's total number of cases was 15.
The third cluster which involves a Japanese national contracting the virus at Krystal Club in Thong Lor area of Bangkok had one new case. This cluster had 43 cases as of April 10.
The provincial public health office is searching for all 872 people who have been in contact with the infected people.
The re-emergence of Covid-19 in the eastern province of Chon Buri this month has resulted in 225 cases. (continues below)
A spike in cases there has dampened the atmosphere at the province's famous Bang Saen beach despite the festive Songkran holiday, causing concerns among local businesses about a possible loss in profits during Songkran.
In Chiang Mai, authorities have confirmed 186 new Covid-19 cases, raising the total from the recent outbreak this month to 381.
Many people who visited the places appearing in timelines of the infected people have reportedly travelled to hospitals to take a Covid-19 test.
The new infections were believed to have been linked to entertainment venues, the source of most of the infections that have been spreading throughout the country in recent days.
Timelines showed many infected patients had travelled to several nightspots.
