Thailand's Education and Public Health ministries are implementing adjusted, less restrictive safety measures for the May 17th return to on-site classes after two years of online learning.
Schools must secure approval for isolation plans, adhere to the 44-point 'Thai Stop COVID Plus' standard, and implement revised protocols like 1-meter social distancing and specific actions for infected students or close contacts.
A nationwide free Pfizer vaccination drive for students aged 12-17 is underway from May 9th, emphasizing immunity as the most effective protection against COVID-19 for safe school reopening.
