The government on Wednesday reported one new Covid-19 death, raising the toll to 80, and 157 new cases – 144 local infections and 13 imported – bringing the total to 23,903.
Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said the latest death was a Thai woman, 65, who had suffered from laryngeal cancer, terminal renal failure and high cholesterol.
She had been in close contact with an infected family member who came from Samut Sakhon. Five of eight immediate family members were confirmed with Covid-19.
Doctors believe she was infected through a surgical opening in her neck, a tracheostomy.
