23 Sept 05:01 Key points summarised by AI
- Thailand's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has approved the resumption of on-site learning, citing low severe cases and fatalities among youth, despite an overall surge in infections.
- Day schools must isolate high-risk students at home for seven days plus three days of observation, requiring two rapid antigen tests and remote learning provisions; infected students at school follow public health measures.
- Boarding schools will implement a 'sandbox' safety scheme for high-risk students, involving a 7+3 day quarantine with special classes and activities, and immediate testing for symptomatic students or close contacts.
- Infected students with no or mild symptoms are permitted to attend examinations separately, under strict conditions including mask-wearing, hand sanitization, social distancing, and private transportation to school.
