Thailand will set aside up to 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines for foreign workers as it prepares to welcome them back to the country to help ease a labour shortage, a government minister said, according to Reuters.
The government plans to allow workers from neighbouring Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos to re-enter the country beginning next month.
Workers will be placed in a two-week quarantine and during that time the vaccines will be administered, Labor Minister Suchart Chomklin said. They will also be tested for Covid-19.
