The Corrections Department will from next week gradually allow relatives to resume visiting inmates at 124 prisons where the Covid-19 situation has improved, after a year-long ban, department director-general Ayut Sinthoppan said on Tuesday.
Mr Ayut said while family visits would return to normal at 124 prisons, 19 others where the Covid-19 situation had not improved would remain off limits.
Since April last year the Corrections Department has not allowed relatives to visit prison inmates, but online meetings were allowed.
