VICHAIYUT Hospital respiratory specialist Dr Manoon Leechawengwongs has advised the government to make it possible for people to co-exist with Covid-19, so the economy can be revived.

In a Facebook post yesterday, he pointed out that the death rate had dropped at least six-fold amid the Omicron outbreak because up to 70% of the population had been jabbed and 25% had received booster shots.
