NPHET Says Rising Covid Cases Could Delay Easing Of Restrictions

A member of NPHET says further restrictions won't ease at the beginning of September if Covid cases continue to rise.

The five-day moving average has increased by 27 per cent in the past two weeks, and now stands at 1,854.
1,558 new cases were confirmed yesterday.
The government's due to announce a plan for the easing, or removal, of the remaining restrictions by the end of this month.
But Dr Mary Favier says further reopening may have to be delayed.
