Sixteen of the new cases were from South Sudan, four from India, one from Pakistan and one from the Philippines. The Centre for Covid Situation Administration (CCSA) said all 16 new cases arriving from South Sudan were Thai soldiers returning from a UN peacekeeping operation in the African country. A Thai male student from Pakistan, 13, tested positive in his second test on Saturday despite being asymptomatic. Three of them arrived on Wednesday and tested positive on Saturday -- a mother, 35, her seven-year-old daughter, and a businessman, 38. The fourth case was a 30-year-old man who arrived on Friday and tested positive the same day.
