เนื้อหาโดยย่อ :

The Governors of Bangkok, five neighboring provinces and Chiang Mai have imposed urgent measures to ensure social distancing, including closing a range of retail business until at least April 12th. People living in these areas are requested to remain inside their homes and to limit all social contacts. The MOPH has urged workers of retail businesses in Bangkok not to travel to their hometowns in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus to their families. The National Communicable Disease Committee has asked all Provincial Governors to develop action plans for screening, case- finding and disease prevention measures at the district and sub-district levels. Some provinces are seeing their first cases. Testing, isolating positive cases
and tracing their contacts to limit ongoing transmission of the virus, is an essential public health response at this moment. These activities, combined with strict social distancing measures, are the best tools currently available to combat the pandemic.
