Thailand reported 53 new COVID-19 infections, a nearly four-fold increase from the previous day, raising the national total to 2,907 cases.
The surge is largely attributed to 42 cases identified among illegal foreign immigrants at the Sadao detention center in Songkhla province, following active case finding efforts.
Health officials confirm most infected migrants exhibit moderate symptoms and will receive proper treatment, while new guidelines for cross-border cargo transport are implemented.
The national death toll increased to 51 with one new fatality, and all Thais returning from abroad are now mandated to undergo 14 days of state quarantine.
