		</div><p>Thailand has reported 9,635 new coronavirus cases – doubling the previous daily record set last week – with more than 70% of the increase coming from prisons.</p>
<p>Thailand’s confirmed case total rose to 111,082, of which almost three-quarters – 82,219 – have been recorded since the beginning of April this year, when a new wave of coronavirus infections began.</p>
<p>Twenty-five deaths were reported on Monday, bringing the total number to 614.</p>
<p>Thailand had about 7,100 cases including 63 deaths in all of last year, in what was regarded as a success story in containing the virus.</p>
<p>The capital, Bangkok, accounted for 1,843 of Monday’s new cases, with no signs of decline, said Taweesilp Visanuyotin, spokesperson for the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration. He said half of the city’s 50 districts have high rates of infection.</p>

<p>Despite no downturn in infections, restaurants in Bangkok and neighbouring provinces were allowed on Monday to resume indoor dining until 9pm, with seating limited to 25% of capacity. Since May 1 they had only been allowed to provide takeaway service.</p>
<p>Bangkok officials said closures would be extended for two more weeks for schools, entertainment venues, cinemas, fitness clubs and sports arenas.</p>
<p>The current wave was traced to nightspots in popular Bangkok entertainment districts. But 28 virus clusters have now been identified across 19 districts, including markets, slums, low-income housing and construction sites.</p>
<p>The Corrections Department announced that in the first half of this month, it conducted Covid-19 tests on 24,357 inmates in eight prisons, five of them in Bangkok, and about half tested positive.</p>
