Laos extends lockdown measures for another 15 days
Laos has extended its lockdown COVID-19 prevention measures across the country for a further 15 days as the community spread of COVID-19 in the capital continues.

The current nationwide lockdown, imposed on June 4, was set to expire on Saturday.
The notice outlines a gradual loosening of lockdown measures with certain strict measures to remain in place.
