The country reported +9 new case recorded, total at 1,943. 3 deaths.

The government has banned privately-owned entities from purchasing Covid-19 vaccines with intent to sell them.

Explaining the reason for the ban, Director General of the Department of Hygiene and Health Promotion under the Ministry of Health, Dr Phonepaseuth Ounaphome, told Vientiane Times on Wednesday that the government understood public concerns about a shortage of supply of vaccines.

But, despite increasing demand, he said government stocks were sufficient and it was anticipated that more vaccines would be delivered in the near future.

However, the government is allowing private entities to buy vaccines for their own use.
