Students returning from other provinces face 14-day quarantine
Students who return to Samut Sakhon from other provinces will be quarantined for 14 days before being allowed to rejoin schools, which will open nationwide on July 1. Other provinces are likely to follow suit, in line with government rules.
Governor Veerasak Vichitsangsri announced the measure after meeting with school executives to discuss Covid-19 prevention measures in local education institutions.
The institutions must now inform parents and students that those returning from other provinces to study must follow Public Health Ministry rules, which include self-isolation at home for 14 days before returning to school or college.
Meanwhile schools, public health volunteers, and local officials are collaborating to deal with any students who are found with a temperature higher than 37.5 Celsius degrees.
Schools and colleges have been instructed to collect information on students and staff to prevent overcrowding and check for symptoms of Covid-19. They are also allowed to extend the school week until Saturday to reduce crowding. Only 20 students will be allowed at one time in each classroom, where desks must be placed at least 1.5 metres apart.
