Thailand has sufficient hospital beds and medical equipment to handle the surge in Covid-19 cases, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced on Friday.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has decided to not announce a curfew anywhere in the country as it will only burden and inconvenience the public.

A 38-year-old man in Tak province has become the first person to die of Covid-19 spread by the Thong Lor cluster, the province's Public Health Office said on Friday.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will discuss this evening (Friday) whether to give provincial governors the power to impose local curfews to combat the spread of Covid-19, said Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

The state enterprise policy committee on Friday approved the National Housing Authority’s house-rental project for the low-income sector.
