BANGKOK, Jun 26 (NNN-TNA) – Thailand’s Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, said yesterday that, temporary closure will be applied to specific clusters, to stem domestic spreads of COVID-19.
Prayut said, construction worker camps in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, together with selected sites in four southern provinces will be closed down for a month, effective from this coming Monday.
He further rejected pressure to put Bangkok under a full lockdown, despite increasing local infection rates.
The capital has suffered, by far, from the highest infections among all provinces in Thailand, since the beginning of the third wave.– NNN-TNA
