Stringent checks on returnees at the border


THE Lao government has instructed authorities across the country to strictly monitor the border and record information about people entering Laos to prevent and control the spread of Covid-19.

Lao nationals who work in Thailand and other countries may return but must enter at official border crossings so that officials can screen them for Covid-19, local daily Vientiane Times reported yesterday.
