TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired whether a medical certificate is required to apply for a 30-day extension on their 60-day single-entry tourist visa expiring in mid-April. According to responses, no medical certificate is needed for the first extension. Users clarified that the extension can be applied for directly at the immigration office without any additional documentation unless previous extensions have been taken due to COVID-19 restrictions.

You ONLY need the "unable to travel due to covid-19" embassy letter IF you already got your normal extensions and you still can't leave,

That let's you apply for the 'emergency extension" for up to 30 days.

So I'm on the Non-O multiple entry and I obviously can't got to the border to extend for another three months. What should I do? I'm supposed to do that around April 12th.

NO, IF you are on a 30 day visa exempt entry OR a 60 day tourist visa entry and it is your FIRST 30 day extension (the NORMAL one you can get from those entry stamps) you do NOT need the embassy letter at all

Just go apply for the extension at the immigration office.
