The Public Health Ministry has proposed ‘targeted lockdown’ measures and a new color-coding system to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) for consideration in response to the severity of the latest wave of Covid-19.
Ministry Permanent Secretary Dr Kiattiphum Wongrajit said the Public Health Emergency Operation Centre agreed at an urgent meeting that disease control measures will be tightened with zoning based on a revised color-coding system to identify provinces hit by Covid-19.
He said the new color-coding system will have only 3 zones – dark red under special, maximum control, red and orange, while the communicable disease committees in all 77 provinces will be asked to adopt ‘targeted lockdown’ measures to ban activities involving large crowd gatherings. (NNT)
