 "Thai PM orders one month closure of worker camps in Bangkok due to Covid")
Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Friday that temporary closure will be applied to specific clusters to stem domestic spreads of Covid-19.
Prayut said that construction worker camps in Bangkok and surrounding provinces together with selected sites in four southern provinces will be closed down for a month effective from the upcoming Monday, the Xinhua news agency reported.
He further rejected pressure to put Bangkok under a full lockdown despite increasing local infection rates.
The capital has suffered by far from the highest infections among all provinces in Thailand since the beginning of the third wave.
