The Prime Minister emphasized that everyone can help the Government on national development and rehabilitation, and would like to see sharing and cooperation among all sectors.



The Private sector shared common opinion with the Government that post-COVID-19 livelihood of the people, especially in public health and environmental aspects, will be changed.

The Prime Minister also urged all sectors to understand the Government’s endeavors, and avoid inciting conflicts so that Thailand could develop people care and welfare system on par with the developed countries. He also hoped that the country could enhance its capacity in identifying more infected patients. – April 28, 2020 (Thaigov.go.th)
