New city Covid cluster feared after two butchers test positiveAuthorities are bracing for a new cluster of Covid-19 infections centred around a wet market in outer Bangkok, after two butchers linked to the market tested positive for the disease. A 57-year-old lottery ticket vendor who worked near the butcher's stall also tested positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, Kalasin reported its first case of Covid-19 since the nation's second wave of infections began -- a 35-year old department store shop assistant. The woman tested positive on Saturday and is currently hospitalised at Kalasin Hospital. The CCSA yesterday reported 39 new cases in Thailand, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 28,773.
