Lao taskforce urges public to avoid parties

THE National Taskforce Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control urged members of the public to avoid parties during the Lao New Year break as this could lead to a rapid increase in virus cases.

“Next week will be the Lao New Year festival, and we would like to call on everyone to pay great attention to the implementation of the PM’s order No 6, ” committee deputy head Associate Prof Dr Phouthone Muongpak said at a Covid-19 update press conference on Saturday.
