Thailand on Saturday confirmed 216 new coronavirus cases and one new death. Now, in a second wave, many cases are linked to a cluster among migrant workers in Samut Sakhon province south of Bangkok. Another cluster is linked to illegal gambling dens in eastern Thailand, both of which started in mid-December. The country has recorded a total of 7,379 coronavirus cases and 64 deaths since the outbreak started last January. Taweesin said with the prime minister's approval, the new measures would start to come into effect on Monday and could be implemented until the end of January.
