Thailand recorded a significant drop in daily COVID-19 cases, with 9,331 new infections reported on Monday, marking the first time the rate has fallen below 10,000 in months.
The daily death toll is also declining, with 84 fatalities reported, indicating a steady decrease in overall infection rates since early April.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha expressed satisfaction with the improving COVID-19 situation, seeing the post-Songkran slowdown as evidence that safety measures are effective.
Despite the positive trend, the Prime Minister urged the public to remain vigilant and not lower their guard, especially considering earlier worst-case predictions of up to 100,000 daily cases after the Songkran holidays.
