Spokesman for the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) Taweesin Visanuyothin announced on Facebook Saturday that his rapid antigen test returned a positive result on Friday, indicating that he has caught the coronavirus.

He said he will rest for 10 days in isolation and apologised to anyone with whom is has been in close contact in the past week.

A mild sore throat was his only symptom, Taweesin wrote. Other than that, he said he feels fine.
