BANGKOK: Thailand's Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha on Sunday (March 8) said authorities are searching for 80 Thai labourers who arrived on Saturday at Suvarnabhumi international airport after returning from South Korea.
A total of 200 Thai labourers were registered on Saturday to fly back on four flights from South Korea.
"I have already instructed the Ministry's Disease Control Department Director-general Dr. Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai to find the names and addresses of the escapees from the list of all the Thai returnees from yesterday and to try to locate them, so they can enter their mandatory 14-day quarantine period," said Sathit.
Suthirawat Suwanawat, general manager of Suvarnabhumi international airport, said on Sunday that there were 104 passengers, including 88 Thais, on the first flight from South Korea Saturday.
