Vientiane (VNA) – The Health Ministry of
Laos announced on May 28 that the country recorded 10 new COVID-19 infections
and one more death related to the disease.
The new cases lifted the country’s total number of infections and deaths to 1,905 and three, respectively. Meanwhile, 1,355 patients in Laos have been given the all-clear from coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
On the same day, Thailand confirmed 34 new COVID-19 fatalities and another 3,759 cases, bringing the accumulated toll to 954 deaths and the number of infections since the start of the pandemic to 144,976.
