BANGKOK – Thailand is likely to classify Covid-19 as a dangerous communicable disease that gives legal tools and specific control such as mandatory quarantine.
In a meeting on Monday, a panel led by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul was considering listing Covid-19 as the country’s 14th dangerous communicable disease.
Covid-19 falls under the criteria to be listed as dangerous disease, health officials say.
