"The most recent Covid-19 cases in Thailand were among returnees who appear to have been asymptomatic for long periods of time, possibly even the duration of their quarantine," said Dr Sophon. The doctor urged the public to maintain all health and safety practices adopted at the height of the domestic Covid-19 infection period. Low-risk contacts were advised to observe social distancing and, where possible, self-isolate until doctors give them the all-clear.
