TCAS manager Assoc Prof Chalie Charoenlarpnopparut said the special venues would be organized for the students who were green-coded COVID-19 patients and at-risk students.
The venues will be at Thammasat University, Maejo University, Khon Kaen University, Suranaree University of Technology, Walailak University, Prince of Songkla University and a special venue in Chanthaburi province.
