Labor Minister Suchat Chomklin said the government prioritizes COVID-19 even after Songkran holidays. Employers are urged to ensure full cooperation at workplaces, including mask-wearing, handwashing, social distancing, and frequent disinfection of high-touch surfaces.

Any firms wishing to hold events are encouraged to do so in a well-ventilated area, avoid overcrowding, and to refrain from hosting dinner parties. A self-performed antigen test is recommended for all ahead of traveling or attending meetings and gatherings.

Employers should also continue to encourage their employees, including migrant workers, to be inoculated or boosted to mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19 at the workplace. (NNT)
