Thailand began testing a vaccine against the coronavirus on monkeys after positive trials in mice. Thailand's minister of higher education, science, and research and innovation, Suvit Maesincee, said hoped to have a "clearer outcome" of its effectiveness by September.
"This project is for the human race, not just Thais. The prime minister (Prayuth Chan-ocha) has outlined a policy that we must develop a vaccine and join the world community workforce on this," Suvit said.
Thailand announced on Wednesday that it was developing a vaccine - one of at least 100 potential vaccines in the works worldwide - and hoped to have it into production by next year.
