Regarding the non-prison local infections, the highest numbers of patients were reported in Bangkok with 872, followed by Nonthaburi with 590 (driven by a recently-found cluster at a new construction worker camp), Phetchaburi with 227, Samut Prakan with 127, Pathum Thani with 66, and Narathiwas with 54. Chonburi reported 34 new cases today as the factory cluster became under control.

The new cluster has been reported at a construction site in the Dusit district. All of the construction workers were reportedly staying at a camp in Nonthaburi. The site has been ordered closed after a large number of infections were found yesterday.

Following a Covid-19 test being conducted on 57 male party-goers who were arrested for a social gathering last Saturday, one of them was proven positive for the virus, according to Wang Thonglang district police. About 30 police officers who were involved in the case are now seeking a Covid-19 test. The Wang Thonglang police station is also performing a major cleaning to prevent the spread of the virus.

Thailand has now reached a total of 135,439 cases with 89,194 recoveries and a total of 832 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
