Later from 2.20pm, Gen Prayut will hold a video conference with 40 CEOs where they will discuss progress in efforts to contain Covid-19 and related issues. Previously when the government began lifting Covid-19 restrictions, Gen Prayut invited 70 leading business operators to meet with him at Government House on Sept 3 last year. The group instead proposed for the government to partially lockdown only areas where the Covid-19 situation was very serious while speeding up inoculating the population. Infected people are now included in the NHSO's home isolation programme if they have no or mild symptoms, he added.
