Thailand's Health Ministry confirmed 11 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the national total to 70 infections.
The new cases are linked to a group who shared a glass of whisky and a cigarette with a friend from Hong Kong in an enclosed, air-conditioned room.
Public health experts anticipate Thailand will inevitably enter Stage 3 of COVID-19 spread due to increasing infections, but the Ministry of Public Health is preparing resources.
A nationwide lockdown is dismissed as ineffective, with officials stating that closing borders will not make the virus disappear.
