BANGKOK, April 21 — Thailand recorded 19 new coronavirus cases today, a senior health official said, the lowest daily tally in more than a month.
A 50-year-old taxi driver accounted for the latest death, said Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration.
Thailand’s 19 new cases make up its lowest daily increase since it reported seven cases on March 14, preceding a surge in new cases, that prompted the prime minister to enforce an emergency decree and order a partial lockdown.
The Southeast Asian nation has a total of 2,811 cases and 48 deaths. Nearly 75 per cent, or 2,108 sufferers, have recovered. — Reuters
