Thailand continues to require face masks on public transport and in movie theaters

The elimination of all remaining Covid-19 limitations and the complete reopening of Thailand’s borders to international travelers was a recent cause for celebration in Thailand. Masks must be worn while riding all forms of public transit around the country, despite the fact that visitors do not need to show proof of vaccination or that they have tested negative for the disease. An explanation to this effect was provided by a deputy director of the Department of Health, who stated that some of the Covid safety and preventative procedures are still in effect.

In addition, people are still strongly pushed to maintain a social distance in order to prevent unnecessary risk. Other sanitary and safety measures will still be adhered to in order to prevent the…

The Thai anti-Covid nasal spray is ready to be sold to the public

Because of the design, Covid cannot enter the body through the nose. The Health System Research Institute’s head praised the original nature of the Thai invention. Its name was chosen by the makers to be catchy, like most Covid medications. The product will be marketed as “VAILL CITITRAP Anti-Cov Nasal Spray.” After the medical team refined the spray, the private sector will now seize control of all consumer goods distribution and manufacture.

After the Covid-19 increase, Bangkok will establish 500 more field hospitals

If the locals followed the Ministry of Public Health’s guidelines for pandemic prevention, the government claims that the number of cases in November would significantly decline. 5 fatalities and 1,406 new cases were reported today, according to Bangkok’s Public Relations Office.
