Thailand should be fully reopened within this year if vaccination drives in other countries continue easing the pandemic situation.
Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) assistant spokesperson Apisamai Srirangsan said the number of new cases in Samut Sakhon province has been dropping continuously. CCSA will consider readjusting the color-tier labels for provinces on March 19 because only 10 provinces have been reporting infections over the past few weeks.
The relaxation of more measures may be considered before April 1 so people can enjoy Songkran festival this year.
CCSA is considering the possibility of reopening the country on October 1 provided the government is fully prepared, businesses are willing to follow health measures and the public will maintain guard against the virus. (NNT)
