Thailand reported three additional deaths from Covid-19 on Tuesday, bringing the total to four, a heath ministry official said.
The country reported 106 new infections, bringing the total to 827. The number of new confirmed cases was lower than the 122 recorded on Monday.
The three deaths were patients who had other health complications, including a 70-year-old man who had tuberculosis, a 45-year-old man who had diabetes and a 79-year-old man who had unspecified health problems, Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a Public Health Ministry spokesman, said.
Since the start of the outbreak, 57 patients have recovered and gone home, while 766 are still being treated in hospitals.
The cabinet will meet to discuss additional measures to cope with the coronavirus pandemic later on Tuesday.
