Govt's last Covid chanceToday, the Centre for Covid19 Situation Administration (CCSA) meets to debate imposing more stringent Covid measures in Bangkok and its vicinity as well as the the four southernmost provinces in a new bid to battle Covid-19. Set to take effect for 14 days, the steps would lead to Bangkok and its vicinity being sealed off, with inter-provincial travel banned. The Public Health Ministry has revised its vaccination plan regularly to accommodate the needs of the economy and the state's plans to reopen the country. It must also accelerate Covid testing capacity in the capital as well as build more Covid isolation and field hospitals. The government has 14 days, its last chance to restore battered public confidence in its performance.
