Undergoing COVID-19 tests upon arrival, all of them tested negative for coronavirus and were immediately sent for mandatory 14-day quarantine in Songkhla.
Malaysia conducted the repatriation of Thai citizens while temporarily closing its border crossings in Kedah State for 14 days due to the surge of COVID-19 cases.
Officials said that over 100 new COVID-19 patients have been confirmed in Kedah during the past week. (TNA)
