Wednesday Covid Update: 3,440 new cases and 38 deaths

3,440 new Covid-19 cases and 38 coronavirus-related deaths were reported today by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration. Since April 1, the latest wave of infections in Thailand, the CCSA has recorded a total of 136,599.
Out of the new cases, 1,087 were detected in correctional facilities. Thousands of inmates at more than a dozen Thai prisons have contracted the virus over the past month.
Bangkok is the epicentre in the recent wave of infections with more than 40,000 cases reported since April 1. Restrictions remain tight and many non-essential businesses must remain closed until the situation improves. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration decided to loosen measures and reopen 5 types of venues, but the order was quickly reversed by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration.
More information will be reported this afternoon following the CCSA’s daily briefing.
