Better screening for foreigners coming
Following up on the premier’s announcement on Tuesday (March 17) that there will be no lockdowns anywhere in the country because of the escalating Covid-19 crisis, an official from his office said on Wednesday there will be improved screening for foreigners.
Thewan Liptapanlop, head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said the government apologises to the public “for the inconvenience in their lives, but soon everything will be back in normal”.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said there would be no shutdown for Bangkok or any province, but the government was introducing six further measures to tackle the situation.
Thewan said these measures did not include restricting the hoarding of food or supplies, but the government has asked retailers to keep their shelves stocked.
