BANGKOK, April 17 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Thailand's Public Health Ministry on Monday announced measures to deal with a new wave of Covid infections expected to be sparked as people return from Songkran celebrations.

Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, the ministry’s permanent secretary, said many people joined Songkran parties in crowded places without taking steps to protect themselves. Hence, he said, the Public Health Ministry expects a high number of Covid patients once the holiday period is over.
