The Bang Khae market COVID-19 cluster has expanded to 107 infections, affecting Bangkok and four other provinces.
Thailand reported 78 new COVID-19 cases and one fatality today, raising the cumulative total to 27,005 infections and 87 deaths.
Proactive screening of nearly 2,800 people in Bang Khae markets and surrounding communities identified the 107 positive cases.
The cluster's origin traces to a 21-year-old vendor at Wonder market, whose secondary role in an informal cash lending system ('Thao share') facilitated wider virus transmission.
The Wonder market was closed for disinfection on March 7th after 11 additional vendors tested positive for the virus.
