National –
The main committee of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha has approved another extension of the Emergency Decree nationwide after a meeting today, January 4th.
The decree is currently in use until January 15th. However, the CCSA committee proposed another extension this afternoon to be implemented for another 45 days until the end of February 2021.
This follows the seriously increasing number of domestic infections of Covid-19 Coronavirus in the Kingdom since a major cluster at the Samut Sakhon shrimp market last month.
The proposal will be formally put into an account at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow, January 5th, for approval before being officially announced in the Royal Gazette and implemented across the country. It is nearly certain to be approved due to the current Covid-19 situation.
The decree gives the Thai Government extraordinary powers and ability to implement policies and procedures like restricting travel and having road checkpoints to help control the Covid-19 coronavirus.
