Overview

Testing remains minimal and it is not clear how many people have actually been infected by the virus. Still, after almost two weeks of daily single-digit results, Thailand is looking to lift the restrictions that have brought the flagging economy back on track.

A number of sites have been allowed to reopen this week, with May 17 expected to see the next step of relief steps placed in place to control an epidemic that has infected nearly 4 million people worldwide and killed nearly 270,000.
