BANGKOK, July 14 (TNA) – Deputy Prime Minister and
Public Health Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul agreed to review the regulations on
allowing 11 groups of foreigners into the kingdom.

Egyptian military team that made stopovers at U-Tapao airport was infected with
Covid-19.
During his stay there, he went to a shopping mall. The
test was known after he left the country.
Anutin said the next full meeting of the Center for
Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will review 11 categories of foreigners,
allowed entry into Thailand. He will also discuss this with the prime minister
at the Cabinet today.
“We will try to improve some points, which was not
strictly enforced,” he said.
Asked whether flights from Egypt may be temporarily
suspended, he said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must consider more from now
on.
The country is returning to normal but if any
problem occurs, we are ready to be back to the earlier step, he said.
Health officials conducted investigation immediately
after it found the foreign soldiers was infected with coronavirus.
The flaws will be fixed. The safety of the people is
a top priority, Anutin said. (TNA)
