BANGKOK, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Thailand on Wednesday saw zero new COVID-19 case, the first time since Jan. 13 when the first case was recorded in the country, Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said Wednesday.
"This piece of news has delighted all of us for our joint efforts in the past days. This makes us proud that unity has made this figure a reality, thanks to all of us," said Taweesin.
He said that the achievement was also the result of the state emergency and night curfew imposed by the government since early April.
However, the spokesman urged all Thais not to let their guards down as there are still risk factors to watch in the next two weeks.
"You can feel relieved, but not complacent," he said, adding that a single day without a new infection does not guarantee that Thailand is ready for people to resume normal life.
Total COVID-19 cases remained at 3,017 while 117 are still at hospital and death toll remains at 56.
The CCSA indicated that 50 provinces have reported zero new infections for the past 28 days or more, while new infections have been reported in the other provinces in the same period.
Also, the Active Case Finding campaign found 90 people in state quarantine to have tested positive, with 63 percent of them having arrived from Indonesia.
