Dr Suphakit Sirilak speaking at government house yesterday admitted that there were now 62 cases of the Indian variant of Covid-19 at a workers' camp in Lak Si, northern Bangkok.
Last week 36 cases were reported.
Dr Suphakit said that though data was limited it appeared that the so called UK variant and the Indian variant were about as virulent.
They were characterised by rapid spread.
He denied claims that vaccines were not effective and said that contrary to reports all 62 cases were found with nasal swabs.
He also said that there were no new cases of South African variant. Eight cases were found in people in Tak Bai district of Narathiwat in the far south on Saturday, reported Daily News.
He urged people in the area not to travel as testing was taking place in surrounding provinces to see if the South African variant was on the move.
