BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand’s cabinet approved on Tuesday a further 27 billion baht ($807.17 million) in relief measures and extended a scheme to boost domestic travel to the end of February, as the government deals with the country’s biggest coronavirus outbreak to date.
The relief support, such as a subsidy on utilities, will be offered to welfare card holders, government spokespersons told a news conference.
