The government on Tuesday reported five new quarantined cases of the novel coronavirus, including a Thai national, as total cases rose to 3,511.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration said that the Thai was a 44-year-old maid who arrived from Switzerland last Wednesday.


The four other cases were Indian nationals who flew in from India.  Three were from the same family, a couple aged 36 and 30 and their seven-month baby girl. The other case was a 62-year-old businessman.

 

They arrived last Wednesday and were staying at an alternative state quarantine facility in Bangkok. Their infection was confirmed on Saturday.

 

All the new cases were asymptomatic.

Covid-19 infection rates were 12.04% among arrivals from India and 0.17% from Switzerland.

Of the total 3,511 cases, 3,343 have recovered -- including one patient over the past 24 hours -- and 109 others were at hospitals. The death toll has remained at 59 since last Friday.
