Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has disclosed that the ministry has prepared the required medical equipment, medicines, and vaccine to combat any Covid-19 mutations. This includes the Deltacron variant that the World Health Organization (WHO) is actively monitoring. He emphasized that preventive measures remain effective as long as people strictly adhere to the ministry’s regulations.

Sure they are that's why all the regulations are still in place and the Test N Go program and pcr test will remain.

what is wrong with Thailand ...................... I think everyone knows the problem

[TooMuchTime]

Definitely need to be prepared for future variants.  Megatron and Chevron variants may be extremely lethal and we shouldn't let out guard down.

They have got a load of Molnupiravir, which India cancelled it's order as they classified it as a dangerous drug, France also cancelled orders for it, and it now will probably never be needed to treat Omicron which is so far proving to be very mild except for the elderly ,the average age of death in the UK is 82.5 and the biggest cause of comorbidity deaths in the UK with omicron ,is diabetes.

India is making their own generic and in 800mg doses (4x more potent, than the original) since June 2021.

They have now officially approved it for covid, but it's not very effective medicine.

 

So is every country in the world governments were saying they are prepared for covid. So far nothing is working as expected

This brilliant man, without medical degree, has prepared his country for as yet UNKNOWN variants. 
When will this nonsense stop....???

[Alidiver]

He's found the correct amulet

[spidermike007]

Please Anutin, stop. You have about 2% credibility remaining. Are you so blind you cannot see this? 

 

You failed with the vaccination program. You failed with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th wave. You still cannot level this off, while Covid numbers are dropping all over the world. 

 

The less you do and say at this point, the less damage is done. 

[cncltd1973]

 

Of course he is ready and full of misplaced confidence????

There's a huge disclaimer, and one that instantly nullifies his 'readiness' since we all know that people can't be trusted to strictly adhere to any regulations

[RhodeIslandRed]

You wouldn't have any Pfizer vaccines or medical supplies or equipment if it wasn't given to you by the US. Thai residents up north are just now receiving their first dose of Pfizer as many other people here in BKK have already gotten their booster....you should be ashamed of yourself for the poor organization of distributing vaccines....stop bragging about nothing

Yep the restrictions continue as the covid election variant is expected to arrive and never leave.

This is rich coming from a country who isn't prepared for illegal crossings from Myanmar and Cambodia on a monthly basis
