BANGKOK – The Cabinet ministers on Tuesday resumed their weekly meeting at Government House for the first time since last month, with the plan to ease COVID-19 lockdown on top of the agenda.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha chaired the meeting of all ministers at Government House after holding teleconferences in the past weeks.
The ministers acknowledged the latest COVID-19 data and the progress of COVID-19 relief packages for informal workers and farmers.
Gen Prayut told reporters after the meeting that the government’s Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) planned to inspect business operations in order to complete a guideline for the next phase of lockdown easing.
He encouraged the people to heed restrictions and guidelines set by the CCSA while assuring that all disease control orders would be most suitable for the situation.
The CCSA on Monday said it would announce the second phase of easing COVID-19 restrictions on Friday. The first phase, which began on May 3, allows some business and recreational activities to resume. The next phase will see others such as shopping malls reopened. (TNA)
