Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, accompanied by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his deputy Sathit Pitutecha, chats with vendors at the Star Market in downtown Rayong. The premier on Wednesday travelled to Rayong from Bangkok by helicopter. Prayut and his entourage, including Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited D Varee Diva Central Rayong and Passione Shopping Destination mall -- the places where the infected soldier spent time while staying in Rayong. He called on people to remain confident in the public health system and doctors, asserting there would be no more VIPs going astray and that everyone must be tested for the virus. Prayut said he would take responsibility for the incident and urged everyone to treat the Rayong event as a lesson.
