Thailand ordered security stepped up at its land borders on Monday after concerns surged over a possible second wave of coronavirus infections. Since the start of June, authorities have arrested 3,000 migrant workers for overland entry attempts, said Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for Thailand’s task force on the disease.

Taweesin also raised concern about weak regulation for foreign arrivals by air, after two such visitors tested positive, with one breaking quarantine rules.

With no locally transmitted case reported for more than six weeks, Thailand’s virus tally since January stands at 3,220 infections and 58 deaths, Reuters said.

The country has partly lifted its entry ban on foreigners, including permanent residents, business travelers and medical tourists, but it still bars ordinary tourists and migrant workers.
