Health authorities in Thailand reported 9,635 new coronavirus cases on Monday, doubling the previous daily record set last week. Over 70% of Monday’s increase — 6,853 cases — came from prisons.
Thailand’s confirmed case total rose to 111,082, of which almost three-quarters — 82,219 —— have been recorded since the beginning of April this year, when a new wave of coronavirus infections began. Twenty-five deaths were reported Monday, bringing total fatalities to 614.
Thailand had about 7,100 cases including 63 deaths in all of last year, in what was regarded as a success story in containing the virus.
