Tougher lockdown measures, including closing down nearly all businesses in Greater Bangkok, will be presented to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), sources said.
Meanwhile, the country also recorded two grim milestones on Saturday as daily Covid-19 fatalities reached triple digits and new infections hit five figures for the first time.
The Ministry of Public Health said 141 people died in the previous 24 hours and 10,082 new cases were found. Both were single-day records. Of the new cases, 9,955 were among the general population and 127 were prison inmates.
