On several days, the number of patients who have recovered was also more than new infections, the prime minister said. In light of this, Gen Prayut said, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) decided to extend lockdown to the end of this month. However, the prime minister stressed the need for all involved to work together to help reduce the number of new cases and deaths.
