NSC: Dropping Emergency Decree Depends On Covid Situation

[webfact]

 

by TNR Staff 

 

THE Secretary-general of the National Security Council said today (August 19) that the Covid situation and a certainty that there will not be another crisis would determine whether the emergency decree is cancelled at the end of next month, Naewna newspaper said.

 

Gen. Supot Malaniyom, NSC’s secretary-general, aired his views on this key issue after Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam had said extension of the emergency decree is up to NSC and the Public Health Ministry.

 

 He pointed out that it is now clear that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had approved plans  for Covid-19 to be declared an endemic disease.

As covid is supposedly on the rise then there's the caveat Prayut hopes for to extend it to Christmas and beyond.

Stupid. Putting an emergency decree into place takes all of 5 minutes. What can/could happen with COVID in those 5 minutes. Right.....emergency decree is a sham.
