BANGKOK – Caretaker Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health to lay down COVID-19 prevention guideline for schools.


Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisuree Taisaranakul disclosed that as the opening of new school term is imminent, the prime minister has instructed two ministries to work together in laying down guideline for prevention of the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases, such as influenza. This is due to the remarkable increase of COVID-19 infected cases following the Songkran holidays, coupling with the country’s entering into the rainy season.

 

With the COVID-19 measures being eased and normalization of people’s way of living, it is important to set a clear healthcare guideline for education institutes, i.e., screening procedure, school quarantine of sick children, provision of alcohols and washing stations in schools, and ensuring hygiene of school equipment and classrooms, etc.


The Prime Minister also urged the parents to take their children to receive a booster dose of vaccine.

So yes there is an increase but it's certainly not remarkable.

Interesting that countries like the UK and Australia are not recommending this course of action. Unfortunately I cannot say more about this as it is still a Taboo subject.

screening procedure

By this I'm guessing it will be the useless temp. monitors for fevers which is one of the lesser symptoms of Omicron. Will schools be "screening" for these more common symptoms? Interestingly mask wearing is not mentioned.

And life carries on as normal at the international schools.......

Very true. International Schools have not been on holidays (apart from 2 weeks Easter/Songkran) and there have not been any covid measures at them for months. All seems well, at least at my daughters one and others in Phuket.

My daughter will most definetely NOT be getting another jab. Complete nonsence. She's a healthy 13 year old. And please none of this but your daughter might get Covid at school and take it home with her. Yes, this is true but getting jabbed will not prevent this as this novel vaccine does not stop the spread of the virus.

I see kids at school shovelling junk food down their throats all day long while many of them are overweight and quite a few obese.

 

And the idiot in charge thinks the biggest threat to kid's health is from covid...

Even most of the staff in shops are not wearing masks now, most of the Thais are wearing masks now because of the air pollution.

I don’t want my son to be wearing one all day but unfortunately I have to abide by the school rules, his mask didn’t stop him having fever not Covid last term.

Up until the last day of term in March they were still wearing masks, I assume when he goes back on Monday because of the government’s recommendations they will be wearing them again.

Does this win votes for the election?

The loving father of the nation cares about the children :cheesy:

 

When I look around here, everyone alone on the sidewalk with mask on, this might indeed win elections...throw in some needles and victory is guaranteed

How is it being used to control the people in Thailand.  The Government is keeping certain procedures in place to ensure safety for not only the spread of COVID-19 but other respiratory diseases, such as influenza. Why is it so hard to understand that safety for our children is always important when it comes to diseases.

Strange. My wife recently told me that the next round of vaccination, due next month has been cancelled. Mixed messages again.

And in many other countries they don't vaccinate children against covid anymore. I think Denmark over 50 only if otherwise healthy

It wasn't just vaccinations for children that were cancelled. It was vaccinations for everyone, including the old and vulnerable. Aren't they the ones that we're supposed to be protecting?

Ah I misread your posting....I somehow imagined that the vaccinations for the kids was cancelled. .... which indeed is odd...if the government says the vaccine does not work well with this strain than it would be logic but calling everyone to be boosted and cancel it on the other side is strange. I agree

If she get's Covid I am in no way concerned. Why should I be. Who knows she might get it and doesn't even know. Maybe no symptoms, maybe a runny nose, maybe a bit sick for a couple of days but she'll be fine. Like pretty much the rest of the 8,000,000,000 people in the world.

I guess the UK is too. That's why they stopped recommending jabs for them. Maybe they are wrong. Maybe the science in Thailand is better.
