Health Ministry handed Bt204m fund for ‘Covid emergency’

By The Nation

 

 

The Cabinet approved allocation of Bt204 million from the 2020 central budget to fund emergency disease controls in case Covid-19 infections surge.

 

The money will be used by the Public Health Ministry if a second wave of the virus hits Thailand.

 

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) reported five new cases, all found in state quarantine, over a 24-hour period on Tuesday.

 

Meanwhile the Cabinet also approved in principle the Interior Ministry's proposal to add Covid-19 to the list of diseases controlled under Section 12 of the immigration law.

 

The move will ban Covid-19 patients from entering or settling in Thailand.

Never mind a second wave, what are they going to do in the second week with such a low amount?

Wonder if that will eventually lead to a 'no vaccination no immigration' approach to visas

if people with no money but using a crooked AGENT + corrupted IO can get a retirement visa

 

but people following the rules need 800k when applying and never go under 400k

 

i'm pretty sure a solution will be find for this "no vaccination"

Does that mean Thais will also be tested, before entering Thailand?
