BANGKOK, Feb 24 (TNA) – Thailand is likely to classify
Covid-19 as a dangerous communicable disease that gives legal tools and
specific control such as mandatory quarantine.
In a meeting on Monday, a panel led by Public Health
Minister Anutin Charnvirakul was considering listing Covid-19 as the country’s
14th dangerous communicable disease.
Covid-19 falls under the criteria to be listed as dangerous
disease, health officials say.
Although the number of Covid-19 cases remains at 35, the
government has prepared for the worst, approving a plan for handling the Level
3 of the outbreak, in which more stringent measures will be implemented to
handle uncontrollable infections. (TNA)
