BANGKOK, Sept 7 (Reuters): Thailand's cabinet on Tuesday approved an additional 17 billion baht (US$521 million) of financial support for people affected by restrictions aimed at containing the country's biggest coronavirus outbreak, a government spokesman said.
The restrictions were imposed in July in 13 provinces including Bangkok before being extended into August and expanded to 29 provinces. Those curbs have been eased from this month.
