The government reported 38 confirmed new coronavirus cases and one additional death on Tuesday morning.

The total of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Thailand is now 2,258, and the death toll at 27.

The figure of 38 new infections appears to show a declining trend from the 51 cases reported on Monday and the 102 on Sunday, but there is no way to know the actual number of cases and how quickly the coronavirus is being transmitted because -- as is the case worldwide -- very few people have been tested.

Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman of the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration, said that the latest fatality was a 54-year-old man, with no reported chronic diseases, who parties in Thong Lor area of Bangkok.

“The lower number of daily new cases and the slower increase in patients apparently resulted from the nationwide curfew starting on April 3,” Dr Taweesin said.
