103 new virus Covid-19 coronavirus cases confirmed, 4 more deaths

Covid-19 coronavirus cases in Thailand rose to 1,978 with 103 cases confirmed since yesterday and another 4 patients dying. Taveesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, made the announcement today. Total deaths nationwide now stand at 19.

Today’s number continues a hopeful trend of new cases in Thailand overall dropping as restrictions tighten across the country this week. 104 new cases were reported yesterday, 120 on Wednesday, 127 on Tuesday.

Taveesin cautioned that, even though the rate of new cases may be slowing, any number over 100 a day is a matter of concern. He said March saw the contagion spread throughout the entire country, warning that no province will be spared if people do not adhere to the Government’s strong advice to stay at home orders and curfew.

A nationwide curfew goes into effect in Thailand today, prohibiting the public from leaving their homes between 10pm and 4am. All arrivals to Thailand are banned until April 15 while the government prepares quarantine centres and field hospitals.
