Strengthening the implementation of measures to prevent transmission of Covid-19 (including new Covid-19 virus variant)

On 28 June 2021, the Ministry of Health issued a press release on strengthening the implementation of measures to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 (including new Covid-19 virus variant), especially individuals needed to participate properly, consistently, and thoroughly.

The Ministry of Health has detected several cases of new Covid-19 virus variant called Delta in migrant workers returning from Thailand. The transmission of this new Covid-19 virus is more dangerous than previous Covid-19 virus variant and about 15 times more severe than in the past. Scientists have found that the risk of transmission is caused by a lack of proper and rigorous self-protection measures, especially when individuals are mobile, forgetting to take precautionary measures or failing to apply them properly.
