13 Sept 07:25Key points summarised by AI
A senior DCD doctor raised serious concern over increased COVID-19 infections from Thais returning from high-risk countries like the US, France, and Spain.
Out of 59 new confirmed cases, 21 were individuals arriving from high-risk countries, prompting parents to demand government assistance for 200 Thai students to return from the USA.
Thailand's COVID-19 death toll rose by 2 to 9, with critical cases increasing to 23, while 1,388 patients remain hospitalized.
The DCD expert warned against public transport use, urging commuters to wear masks at all times or, preferably, stay home to prevent further spread.
