The Ministry of Public Health will ask the Centre for Covid-19 Situation's (CCSA) operations centre to drop the mask mandate in public places and lower the national Covid-19 alert to Level 2 next week.
Kiattiphum Wongrajit, permanent secretary for public health, said if the operations centre agrees with the ministry's recommendation, the final decision will rest with the CCSA's executive board, which is chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
