2,455 new Covid-19 cases and 41 coronavirus-related deaths, the highest fatality count since the start of the pandemic, were reported today by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration. A total of 109,031 people have tested positive for Covid-19 since April 1.
Out of the new infections, 479 were in Thai prisons. Thousands of inmates in around a dozen correctional institutions have tested positive for the coronavirus, prompting authorities to consider releasing some inmates to reduce overcrowding and contain the spread of the virus.
