Two more Covid-19 cases have been confirmed in Phuket, both patients infected at a local pub.

Phuket health chief Koosak Kookiatkul said on Thursday the two people visited Illuzion pub in Patong.

The new infections raised the number of cases reported recently on the island province to 10. One of them was linked to a pub in the Thong Lor area of Bangkok.

Dr Koosak gave details of the eight other cases. 

The first was a 29-year-old receptionist at Kristal Club in Thong Lor. Her condition was not severe and she was being treated at a private hospital in Phuket.

The second was a 38-year-old male official. He had visited a fighting cock arena, a massage parlour and a pub. His condition was not severe and he was being treated at Vachira Phuket Hospital.

The third case was the wife of the infected official. Her condition was also not severe and she was being treated at Vachira Phuket Hospital.

The fourth was the couple's son. He was being treated at the same hospital as his parents.

The fifth and sixth cases were a married couple who live in the Thong Lor area of Bangkok and visited Phuket on April 2. They went to Illuzion pub and to Café Del Mar in Kamala. The couple later tested positive and sought treatment at Bangkok Phuket Hospital.

The seventh and eighth cases were also a married couple. They went on a diving trip. The dive instructor asked them to take swab tests and the results came back positive. The couple were being treated at Vachira Phuket Hospital.
