LAOS, April 24 (Vientiane Times/ANN) - Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith has told the cabinet to continue to strictly enforce measures to prevent and control the coronavirus, even though there are positive signs that Laos is on track to containing the disease.

After no new confirmed cases of the virus were recorded for 11 consecutive days, health authorities said it was a good trend and if this record could be maintained for another three consecutive days, making 14 days in total, some restrictions could be eased.
