Thailand on Thursday (July 15) reported 9,186 new COVID-19 cases and 98 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.
● 9,107 new infections
● 79 prison / prison infections
Thursday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 372,215 with 3,032 deaths.
(Total infections since April 1: 343,352)
The news comes as the National Vaccine Committee (NVC) approved Wednesday the procurement of another 120 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine for next year, but withheld its approval of a draft announcement, regarding AstraZeneca vaccine manufactured in Thailand for export, to ensure sufficient vaccine for Thais in the wake of rapid surge in infections.
