Hospitals are currently treating about 180 COVID cases, according to health officials, and almost all of them are among people who returned from abroad and tested positive in state-mandated quarantine. Yet over the past few months, travellers from Thailand have tested positive after arriving in Japan, Malaysia and South Korea. At least 70 migrant workers who returned from Thailand tested positive in Myawaddy, according to the Myanmar authorities. In October, two truck drivers ferrying goods from Myanmar to Thailand tested positive at a Thai hospital. But late last month, a pair of Thai women who had crossed over the border illegally from Myanmar tested positive in Mae Sot.
