No strict Covid controls from Oct 1Travellers head for antigen tests for Covid-19 at Suvarnabhumi airport. The changes were announced by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul after a meeting of the National Communicable Disease Committee on Wednesday. Mr Anutin said that the National Communicable Disease Committee also agreed to redefine Covid-19 as a communicable disease under surveillance, instead of as a dangerous communicable disease, from Oct 1 to September next year. Infected people might have to follow different disease control policies at their workplaces, Dr Sophon said. After following disease control measures strictly for five days, Covid-19 cases would not have to take an antigen test, he said.
