Get the Covid act togetherAs the country teeters on the brink of yet another wave of Covid-19, timely, well-coordinated and sensible responses are called for. The same fate befell Education Minister Trinuch Thiengthong who met with a well-wisher who was later confirmed to have contracted Covid-19. Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Tuesday that travellers from Bangkok and other at-risk areas will not have to quarantine when they head to other provinces. Yesterday's decision by the Public Health Ministry and other agencies under the Centre for Covid 19 Situation Administration (CCSA) not to designate red-zone areas may send the wrong signal about the new wave. It is appalling that after two waves of the disease, the country still hasn't set up an efficient tracing system.
