Cabinet approves extension of emergency for another month
The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a one-month extension of the state of emergency through Sept 30 to control the Covid-19 outbreak as the nation seeks to prolong its streak of going three months without a local transmission.
The Cabinet’s move was in line with the proposal from the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri. The powers under the state of emergency, and its fifth extension since the initial order in March, allow the government to act quickly in case of a crisis, he added.
