Thailand extended a ban on international passenger flights until the end of June, the country’s aviation regulator said, as new coronavirus cases in the country dwindle.

The Civil Aviation Authority’s ban extends a previous order that was set to run until the end of May, Reuters reports.

The announcement comes as the country begins to relax local restrictions after reporting single-digit increases of infections from the novel coronavirus this month.
