Meanwhile, 15 more patients aged over 20 died in the past day, bringing the nationwide death toll to 1,392.
The resurgence of COVID-19 has continued due to the Delta wave, and more than 1,000 infections and 10 or more deaths have been reported daily in the country with a population of around 3.4 million.
The Asian country launched a national vaccination campaign in late February, with the aim of covering at least 60 percent of its population. So far, 65.6 percent of the population has received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines.
The country's health authorities have urged the public to strictly follow health guidelines and receive a booster or a third vaccine dose to boost their immune systems.
