Thailand reported 30 new daily COVID-19 cases, a slight decrease, with 92 recoveries and two additional fatalities, indicating a positive trend in recovery rates.
Authorities noted a concerning threefold increase in household infections during April, potentially linked to increased close contact due to curfew measures.
New cases primarily involved international returnees and close contacts, while outdoor infection rates simultaneously declined.
The two fatalities included a 60-year-old street vendor with underlying health conditions and a 60-year-old pilgrim recently returned from Indonesia.
The government plans to limit daily international returnees to 200 to manage quarantine capacity, with thousands of Thai Muslims awaiting repatriation from Malaysia.
