13 Sept 23:16Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's daily new COVID-19 infections dropped to 103, bringing the total confirmed cases to 1,978 and fatalities to 19, with the Prime Minister still expressing concern over the daily count remaining above 100.
New cases were linked to various sources including a boxing event, entertainment venues, religious activities in Indonesia, close contacts, and returnees from abroad.
Authorities mandated quarantine for all Thais returning from abroad and urged young people to maintain strict social distancing from the elderly during the postponed Songkran period to prevent further spread.
The State Railway of Thailand suspended services on 31 northern, north-eastern, and southern routes indefinitely due to travel restrictions and a sharp decline in passenger volume.
