BANGKOK, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Twenty seven new COVID-19 infections were detected in one of Thailand's coastal provinces Saturday, hours after the authorities confirmed the country's daily caseload as 110.

All the 27 cases were detected in Rayong province, which accommodates major projects under the country's Eastern Economic Corridor scheme.

Most of the new cases were believed to be linked to an illegal gambling den, making it difficult to trace infection linkages, Rayong's governor Charnna Iamsaeng told local media.

Before the reporting of the 27 cases, Thailand's total confirmed COVID-19 cases have climbed to 6,020, with 4,061 being local infections, according to the Center for the COVID-19 Situation Administration. Enditem
