The government on Tuesday reported 14 new Covid-19 cases - quarantined arrivals from Hong Kong, India, South Sudan and Turkey - raising the total to 3,559.
The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration said that seven of the new cases were Thai soldiers who returned on Sept 22 from their UN peacekeeping deployment to South Sudan.
They were on the same flight that brought back 16 soldiers previously confirmed with the disease, and were now being treated in Bangkok.
Three other new cases were working women who returned from Hong Kong. Two were aged 28 years and the third 50. They arrived on Sept 23, and were quarantined in Bangkok.
The two younger women were roommates in Hong Kong.
Three other cases are Indian nationals who arrived back here on Sept 23.
They include a woman, 31, and her nine-month-old daughter. The mother had returned to India on Oct 4 last year to give birth and had been in close contact with her brother-in-law, who had Covid-19.
The other is a male manager, 34 who had travelled to India on March 4.
The other new case, a Thai woman, 44, arrived from Turkey on Sept 22.
Of the total 3,559 local cases, 3,370 (94.7%) have recovered and 130 others are at hospitals. The death toll remains unchanged at 59.
