On Tuesday, 7,191 Covid-19 patients were discharged from hospitals after recovering from the coronavirus.
The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said on Wednesday afternoon 11 million people have yet to be vaccinated and urged them to receive the first jab.
Most of them were in 10 provinces — Tak, Ratchaburi, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Songkhla, Pattani and Yala were in the top 10 provinces with the most new cases on Tuesday, although Bangkok led with 894 new infections.
"All concerned agencies and community leaders including kamnan and village chiefs should speed up the vaccination campaign," Sumanee Wacharasint, director of the Risk Communication and Health Behavioural Development Bureau, said in the briefing.
As of Tuesday, 45.7 million people, or 63.4% of total population, had received the first shot and 37.5 million people, or 52.1%, were double-jabbed.
Dr Sumanee said the country aimed to see 70% of the population with at least the first shot by the end of this month.
The country imported 12 new cases from the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Egypt, Belgium, Cambodia and Myanmar.
It logged 56 deaths, led by eight in Bangkok, five in Nakhon Si Thammarat and four each in Songkhla and Lop Buri.
