Although Omicron cases were found in many countries, there should not be a significant impact on the Thai economy in the short term because the government already relaxed disease controls and trade, investment and tourism were recovering, said Sanan Angubolkul, chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade of Thailand.

He expected the national economy to grow by 1-1.5% this year.



The country saw its lowest new daily COVID-19 caseloads in months as there were 3,525 new cases and 31 new fatalities over the past 24 hours. There were 66,395 COVID-19 patients and 6,109 patients fully recovered and were discharged from hospitals yesterday. (TNA)
