Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan said on Sunday (March 8) that the masks will be distributed to the public in order to help relieve shortage and overpricing in the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak. The vocational schools will begin courses in cloth-mask sewing and alcohol-based sanitisers for people who are interested in creating their own virus protection.
