Lockdown for high-risk provinces mulled
The National Security Council (NSC) and the Public Health Ministry are brainstorming over imposing new measures to tackle the rising number of infections.
On Wednesday, NSC secretary-general Nattapol Nakpanit said the two sides are discussing the option of imposing a lockdown on high-risk provinces, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Prachuap Khiri Khan, in a bid to curb infections.
Nattapol also said the premier has told NSC to be ready for intensive measures.
