BANGKOK (Asia) – Six new coronavirus cases and no new deaths have been reported in Thailand on Saturday, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases to 2,966.
New daily coronavirus infections remained in the single digits for six consecutive days, prompting the government to allow some businesses and public parks to reopen starting on Sunday.
Three of the new coronavirus cases were found on Phuket, according to Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman of the government’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration.
While over half of Thailand’s nearly 3,000 cases were in Bangkok, but Phuket has the highest rate of infection per population, Taweesin said.
