PM lauds nation's Covid index boostPrayut: Won't let guard downPrime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has welcomed Thailand's 18-place jump on the Bloomberg Covid Resilience Ranking index as the country yesterday resumed its quarantine-free Test & Go scheme for vaccinated international tourists. From 44th last April, Thailand placed 26th out of 53 countries in Bloomberg's latest monthly index released last Thursday, government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said yesterday. The Resilience Ranking is a monthly index Bloomberg has compiled since November 2020 comparing how Covid-19 is being most effectively addressed. The country had also received positive views from many economists who foresee Thailand achieving rapid economic recovery and growth. The PM also emphasised the need for Thailand to continue living with Covid-19 by maintaining sufficient Covid-19 control measures while at the same time working towards improving the country's economy, he said.
