The Southeast Asian country of Laos has recorded its first death from the coronavirus, losing its place among the few countries yet to suffer a fatality, state media said.
The victim was a 53-year-old Vietnamese woman who had underlying medical problems, including diabetes, and who worked at a karaoke club in a village outside the capital Vientiane, the state-run Vientiane Times website quoted the national Covid-19 taskforce as saying.
