(Update: 5 new cases were announced on Friday morning)

The permanent secretary for public health, Dr Sukhum Kanchannaphimai reports some cases can be classified as “super spreaders’, saying that “the Hong-Kong incident on February 27 and 29, where the patients and over 50 members of their families had been thoroughly tested, are now safe and under observation”.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has yet to reach Stage 3 in Thailand”, defined as “rapidly spreading with considerable patient numbers at the community level”.

“We are trying to prevent Thailand from entering the third phase of the outbreak”.
