Central Pattana, operator of the Central World shopping centre in Bangkok, has denied a rumour circulating online that a person or persons infected with the Covid-19 virus had recently dined at Chongjaroen, one of the restaurants in the mall.

Cambodian officials Sunday dismissed media reports that former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra fled the country to Dubai via Cambodia ahead of a court decision, saying they had “no record” of such activity and calling the reports “rumours”.
