BANGKOK: Thailand has four new local coronavirus infections, health officials said on Friday (Dec 18), just as the country has started reopening for tourists after months of keeping the virus at bay.
A 67-year-old woman who sells shrimp in the Samut Sakhon province was confirmed to have the infection, senior health official Sopon Iamsirithaworn told a news conference, adding that three of her family members later also tested positive.
