Reopening checks find only six tourist infectionsTourists return to the famous Temple of Dawn in Bangkok on Wednesday. The other 488 are travellers who opted for Covid-19 quarantine because they had yet to be fully vaccinated and only six infections were confirmed among them, Dr Sumanee said. Only Nong Khai has yet to fulfil this requirement, she said, adding that first-dose vaccination coverage there stood at 47.3%. Since its launch on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the country's reopening has so far run smoothly, without any major problems. As for progress in the country's Covid-19 vaccination drive, Dr Sumanee said 77 million doses of the vaccine have been administered so far.
