Abstract

The situation of Covid-19 in Thailand was well-managed by The Corona 2019 Infectious Disease Outbreak Center (COVID-19), under the implementation of emergency situations law throughout the country, by the Thai government.  As a result, 19 infected patients were identified, and the situation was back to normal.  In December 2020, new mutated corona virus infection was reported from Samut Sakhon Province, where the number of Covid-19 patients increased to nearly 700, within 3 days.  Most of them were Myanmar workers who worked in the fishing industry. In addition, it was reported that infected people from Samut Sakhon were found to be traveling to at least three provinces: Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Nakhon Pathom.

Confronted with the “Covid-19” epidemic among migrant workers, despite the lockdown, spreading to other provinces, forcing medical authorities to proactively identify infected persons as quickly as possible, in order to keep the outbreak situation under control.

From this circumstance, legal measures must be taken strictly in accordance with various regulations, in order to control the new outbreak situation, to prevent, control, and monitor, in preparation for New Year's festivity.
