The government on Sunday reported five new coronavirus cases, bringing the total in Thailand to 3,009. No additional deaths were reported, leaving the accumulated toll at 56.

However, there are four more infected people from Phuket, who will be included in figures to be reported on Monday, said Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the government's Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration.

Of the new cases reported on Sunday, two were linked to previous cases and three had travelled abroad, he said.

Slowing numbers of new cases have prompted the government to allow some businesses to reopen after weeks of semi-lockdown.
