TLDR : Answer Summary
There has indeed been an official extension related to the Covid-19 visa. A member shared the official notice regarding the extension in the group. However, it's not clear if further extensions beyond the current allowance (60 days) will be permitted, especially for those on the STV visa who have already extended it twice.

Does it mean we can extend another 60 days?
I am in Thailand with STV now (already extended twice)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks again! That's what I expected.
Go back to States to get a shot, then apply Non-O๐
Unlikely as the STV was sold as not being able to change to any other visa or extension of stay inside Thailand other than as specified by the STV program (i.e., another 90-day STV extension if any of the two allowed remaining).
A Non-OA is a visa, and the Non-OA visa is not sold inside Thailand. SOME agencies may be able to convert an STV to a Non-O visa though but it's a route I would not recommend going.
My advice:
Leave Thailand and return on a Non-OA or Non-O visa
If you are here on an STV, you can ONLY get a 90 day extension of stay based on STV, you CAN NOT get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19

UPDATE: I missed the STV in your question. I think Benjamin is correct, you can only get a 90-day extension based on your STV.
yes, it means you can purchase a 60 day covid extension for 1,900 baht up until the end of July. At that time another decision will be made if they will continue to be sold past July or not.
