KANCHANABURI: Security has again been ordered tightened along the border with Myanmar to stop illegal border-crossers who may bring in Covid-19 in the lead up to the New Year.
Kanchanaburi governor Jirakiart Phumsawat said on Friday the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) recently met to discuss the illegal entry by 10 infected Thai workers returning from nearby Tachilek in Myanmar.
The centre had drawn up additional prevention measures and the Interior Ministry told provincial governors and communicable disease panels to strictly follow them from Dec 1-31, to ensure people traveling to celebrate Christmas and the New Year would be safe from coronavirus infection.
