BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The number of Thai labourers returning from South Korea might reach 100,000 as some have been illegally working in that country, Deputy Permanent Secretary and Public Health Ministry spokesman Dr Opas Karnkawinpong said, requesting all Thais in South Korea to call hotline 1422 and enter self-quarantine for 14 days.
Opas said on Tuesday that the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Thailand have remained the same – 43 confirmed, 31 recoveries, 11 under medical care, and one death.
The Transport Ministry is keeping a close watch on the entry points the labourers use – by plane or boat – while the immigration office will check the history of their travel in and out of the country.
