Pheu Thai Party PM candidate Paetongtarn ‘Ung Ing’ Shinawatra, the daughter of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, has been infected with COVID-19 for the second time.

Ung Ing posted on her personal Instagram on Wednesday (June 21st). She states, “I have had a sore throat since Sunday (June 18th). I conducted an ATK test every day since then but tested positive today. I hope my two kids are not infected.”

TPN media noted that this is the second time that Ung Ing has been infected with Covid -19. This afternoon she was scheduled to have an in-person seminar with her political party but she is now unable to join.

Meanwhile, she isn’t the only famous Thai politician to test positive today.
