Thailand now has at total of 1,875 Covid-19 coronavirus cases, with 104 new cases confirmed over the last 24 hours and 3 more patients dying. Total deaths now stand at 15. Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the government’s newly formed Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, made the announcement today (Thursday).

This continues a hopeful trend of new cases in Thailand overall dropping as restrictions tighten across the country. 120 new cases were reported yesterday, 127 on Tuesday.

A spokesman 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 that 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 and maintain social distancing everywhere.

Bangkok remains the epicentre of new infections in Thailand.
