New cases of coronavirus disease have been detected among returnees from India, Japan, South Sudan and the United Arab Emirates, while US President Donald Trump has tested positive for Covid-19.
The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration said there were two new cases each from India and UAE, and one each from Japan and South Sudan.
The two from India are a 23-year-old male student and a seven-month-old boy.
The two cases from UAE are massage workers, aged 29 and 42.
A Thai businessman, 56, returning from Japan and a Thai government official coming back from South Sudan, quarantined in Chon Buri, are the other two.
Of the total 3,575 cases, 3,384 (94.6%) have recovered, including five discharged over the past 24 hours, and 132 patients are in hospital. The death toll remains unchanged at 59.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for Covid-19 and would immediately quarantine and begin the "recovery process".
"We will get through this," Trump tweeted.
Trump's positive test follows news that Hope Hicks, a top adviser and trusted aide, had tested positive for the new coronavirus.
