Thailand to charter commercial flight to evacuate Thai people from Wuhan
13 Sept 12:25Key points summarised by AI
Thailand will charter a commercial flight, not military, to evacuate its citizens from Wuhan, citing international aviation complexities.
Chinese authorities will determine which Thai nationals are clear of coronavirus infection and thus permitted to leave China.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha confirms Thailand has implemented stringent preventative measures against the virus spread and is closely monitoring the situation.
The government aims to balance public health safety with maintaining strong diplomatic relations with China during the crisis.
Deputy Prime Minister assures the public of an adequate supply of face masks to meet demand for protection against both the virus and PM2.5 dust.
