Prime Minister Prayut made a statement on television, including the ad hoc one. Calling on Thais to join forces to fight COVID once again It is time to completely destroy the process of bringing illegal work into the country.
Today (December 22) after honoring the national flag at 6:00 pm, General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Announced on television, including the Special Task Force of Thailand The content of the Statement titled “Another Covid Epidemic: We Must Be Strong” is as follows.
Brothers and sisters, dear peoples. New outbreak of COVID-19 That just happened in Samut Sakhon He was treated urgently Along with the use of intense measures I thank everyone Both officials and people who cooperated well This emerging epidemic It is an important reminder that COVID-19 It remains a grave danger to our country. And in the same period The global situation of COVID Then it plunged into seriousness Intense and sudden too
A few days ago England insisted that new strains of COVID were discovered. They can communicate with each other more easily and quickly More than 100,000 new cases were reported in just one week. And it appears that this new strain of COVID is being discovered. In other countries too
This December appears to be the month of the worst global coronavirus situation since the outbreak. Several countries report hundreds of deaths from COVID. People within a week And there are some countries that have died thousands. People within a week How the worsening global COVID situation will inevitably have a negative effect on coming to Thailand. And we have to be prepared to handle
First effect In other words, the world economy will recover more slowly than expected. As a result, the recovery of the Thai economy will also be slower than expected.
The second effect That is, we will still have to be careful about measures to further relax foreigners traveling to Thailand. Because when the COVID situation outside the country is so bad Our greatest risk is Foreigners entering Thailand will bring COVID to our country too Which will create problems for the Thai public health system. And causing much more damage to the economy than we are facing. We have to be strict and careful. Both at the airport AND channels to enter various countries Be it railways, buses, ships and other natural channels, if a person infected with COVID enters the country, even a few will create serious problems for the economy AND the health of hundreds of thousands of people
I would like to thank all the officials for serving on various national input channels. Who in the past have continuously worked with determination and efficiency. Many foreigners who have come to Suvarnabhumi tell me that they are impressed by their professionalism. And the efficiency of the personnel of various teams Who manage the immigration process admirably. We have to maintain this type of action.
The third effect It is when the global situation worsens What makes us have to put the highest card Add and adjust various measures To have more tension Due to the situation that occurred in Samut Sakhon Currently, it is in quarantine and an aggressive investigation is being carried out. And Samut Sakhon province Nearby provinces And bangkok Has issued more stringent measures AND doing various activities Display Entering – off site However, you may need to declare additional measures. Especially for New Years celebration activities. What measures will be taken or should they refrain?
I understand that everyone wants to relax. The store business wants to generate income, however, this week I will meet with CRC and issue the appropriate measures to the situation. Because since we have seen that if we are weak or too many relaxation measures Covid will create more economic problems. And affect the whole country
Many countries now Began to revert to a wide range of strict measures Both forcing people not to leave their homes Issuing many requirements for people who want to enter the country. Most stores and restaurants should be closed. Including various public and entertainment places It must also be closed Or in some countries like France A ban on transporting things Entering and leaving the country temporarily
At the beginning of the year when COVID was the first global threat. There are countries that are less restrictive on health and public health concerns because they are concerned that it will affect their own economy. Today, all these countries have a strong impact on the economy. Because in the end, the COVID outbreak Make people unable to live a normal life When a lot of people have COVID In the end, it hurts the economy anyway. Therefore, it is very clear to me that Strictness to protect public health AND national health is a way to protect less severe damage to the economy than we are currently facing.
From the beginning, we have been strict in protecting public health. This is the reason why Thailand has a lighter economy than many other countries and we can still go about our daily life almost normally. I still work normally. Take care of other ailments without being bothered by COVID patients. And most importantly, Thais do not have to face the loss of their parents, siblings and children along with COVID. Which is a nightmare that people in many countries of the world still have to know every day.
How can we do this? It must raise the credit of all Thais. For cooperation Unity And having social responsibility Today we still sacrifice our personal comfort. For the benefit of the public We still wear masks all the time. We also wash our hands frequently and maintain our social distance. And we have to honor the hard work of public health volunteers. Healthcare personnel AND officials from across the country, as well as all government agencies working together effectively.
We must remember that only a few people neglect their social responsibility. And behaving selfishly In order to create problems for millions of people, I have to ask all Thais to live their daily lives with a higher level of social responsibility than usual. And I wish to do it with pride that Something everyone does every other day Even if it looks a little But it affects the whole country It can make a difference in Thailand And everyone has contributed to Thailand being in a better situation than many other countries.
Regarding the process of entry of illegal labor to that country It will be processed Completely destroyed If they are both government officials OR relevant people Due to this epidemic, most of the cases were detected in foreign workers.
Although the road is still a long way off, the situation will return to normal. But I’m sure if we can all work together like this, we will continue to be one of the least affected countries in the world. We are a country where people know that we can trust ourselves. And we hope to have others in society too. Let everyone do the best they can.
As for me, I will still instruct you to make sure that Multiple departments The state will continue to operate integrated And closely together I will instruct all parties to adhere to the advice of public health experts. And I will keep trying to Accelerate vaccine procurement and development as quickly as possible After a successful deal with one of the world’s best vaccine developers Agreed to establish a vaccine production center in Thailand
During this time that the COVID storm outside of Thailand was more intense We have to be more careful. I urge all Thais to cooperate. And support each other to fight together to overcome the situation
Thanks a lot.
