The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is considering more measures to promote tourism due to a drop in the number of Covid-19 cases.

Daily cases have started to fall below 1,000 this month and 10-15 deaths reported on average each day, a  government spokeswoman said on Tuesday. The country fully reopened to tourists in July.

"The government is working on a plan to come up with measures to promote tourism to accommodate more tourists during the [upcoming] peak season," she said.

Meanwhile, the government has urged everyone, especially people aged 60 years and above, those with underlying diseases and pregnant women, to complete a two-dose course of vaccines as well as a booster.

The Department of Disease Control said a Long Acting Antibody (LAAB) combination, which protects against severe Covid-19, showed it could even treat a 105-year-old patient who was not previously vaccinated but got infected with the virus.

Moreover, studies in the United States, Europe and Japan showed the LAAB shots can reduce the fatality rate by 50% and significantly ease symptoms if administered within 3-5 days of people contracting the infection, especially those in vulnerable groups.

Japan registered the LAAB on Aug 30 and the European Union is expected to approve it soon. It is currently being reviewed by the US and Thailand.
