The prime minister does not bar the private sector from organizing New Year events but advises organizers to do it with maximum precautions.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said that he did not have any particular instruction concerning New Year celebrations and he would let organizations make their own decisions.
“But I would like them to use their best precautions,” he said.
The prime minister said that he advised well-wishers to send him their letters or New Year cards because he would not receive any in person this year. (TNA)
