BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand was racing to track down about 200 people in its northern provinces on Monday (Nov 30) to stop a potential coronavirus outbreak after three Thai nationals entered the country illegally from Myanmar and tested positive days later.

Three women bypassed immigration checks and entered via natural border crossings last Tuesday and Friday, skipping the mandatory quarantine for new arrivals, Chiang Rai provincial governor Prachon Pratsakul said.
