The government on Friday reported four new cases of coronavirus disease, quarantined arrivals from Ethiopia, Nigeria, Singapore and the United Kingdom, lifting the total to 3,669.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration said the case from Nigeria is a Thai woman who arrived on Oct 9. Her infection was confirmed by the first test on day 4 after her arrival.

The case from the UK is a Thai student aged 19. She arrived on Monday and tested positive for Covid-19 right away.

An Ethiopian woman, 37, who arrived on Monday from Addis Ababa for other medical treatment tested positive right away and is in a hospital in Bangkok.



The case from Singapore is a Thai worker aged 46 who arrived on Oct 9. He had been diagnosed with Covid-19 in June.


All were asymptomatic except the student from the UK, who had a runny nose and lost her sense of smell on Sept 29.

Of the total 3,669 cases, 3,467 (94.5%) had recovered, including four discharged over the past 24 hours, and 143 patients were in hospitals, the CCSA reported. The death toll remained unchanged at 59.
