A 7 month old baby girl tested positive for Covid-19 in Suphan Buri, northwest of Bangkok. With 7 confirmed coronavirus cases now in the province, local disease control officials are discussing whether to impose coronavirus prevention measures, according to the provincial governor Natthaphat Suwanprateep.

Reports do not mention if the girl’s mother was tested for the coronavirus. On December 17, the mother brought her child along with her to the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives in Song Phi Nong sub district. They then went to the Khok Ta Ek flea market in Bang Len sub district. The next day, they went to a shrimp pond in the Salee sub district. On Sunday, the mother took her daughter to the private hospital in the Mueang district.
