Meanwhile, Dr Surachoke Tangwiwat, deputy secretary-general of the Food and Drug Administration, said 1 million favipiravir pills would be delivered to Thailand by April 29. Regarding existing medicine stocks and the rate of new cases that started to be stable, there should not be a problem about the availability of medicines to treat COVID-19 patients, he said.

Large hospitals had 2,000-3,000 pills each and small hospitals 500 pills, he said.

In Chiang Mai province, there were many COVID-19 cases and 10,000 more pills were allocated there. One patient needed about 50 pills, Dr Surachoke said. (TNA)
