BANGKOK: Thailand's government is confident it can contain a major coronavirus resurgence without a national lockdown, instead relying on provincial controls as the outbreak mainly among migrant seafood workers continued to spread.
"I can assure that the government will do its best," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said in a live televised address after a meeting of the government's COVID-19 coordinating center.
