Boxing fans barred, actor 'tests positive'Boxing fans suffered disappointment yesterday, while actor and singer Matthew Deane Chanthavanij posted a message on Instagram saying that he has been infected with the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). The Public Health Ministry yesterday reported all five new local cases of Covid-19 were linked to people arriving from Hong Kong and South Korea. The three other new patients' infections were linked to a 27-year-old Thai woman who returned from South Korea, where she had plastic surgery, Dr Sukhum said. Another is a Thai woman, 29, a friend of a 27-year-old Thai returnee from South Korea being treated at Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital in Bangkok. One of those friends was the other new patient, a 37-year-old man who fell sick last Monday and went to a public hospital on Tuesday after also exhibiting flu-like symptoms.
