Govt looks for ways to curb Covid-19 infections after emergency lifted
The Communicative Disease Act may need to be amended to effectively deal with the Covid-19 crisis once the state of emergency has been lifted.
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Friday (June 26) that the only way to control the Covid-19 situation after emergency is lifted will be to make the law stronger.
“But I’m not sure if only one law needs to be amended or more,” he said.
Wissanu explained that as things stand, people cannot be ordered to wear face masks under the Communicative Disease Act.
