Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has assigned the Public Health Ministry to prepare for a new Covid-19 lockdown in case the pandemic spirals out of control.
Gen Prayut said on Monday that public health officials were randomly testing migrant workers as far and wide as possible. “Everyone shares the responsibility for this mistake,” he said.
Chula UltimateX Library at Chulalongkorn University is fully automated, not a librarian in sight, cost-saving – and the hours are flexible.
He said everyone should cooperate with the government and health authorities in containing the spread of Covid-19 among migrant workers “or else a lockdown will become unavoidable”.
The prime minister said he wanted to spend seven days to assess the Covid-19 situation to decide whether the New Year countdown should be held or not, as well as Children’s Day.
He asked the public not to panic and hoped the situation would improve after seven days.
He added that the Public Health Ministry had assured him at its morning briefing that the situation was still under control.
