The Ministry of Interior, led by Mr. Songsak Thongsri, Deputy Minister, expressed concern over public safety during the Chinese New Year 2021, and therefore ordered the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) to inspect and make sure that fire hydrants are ready to be used in the event of a fire. The ministry also encourages new-normal celebrations, including online purchase of offerings, online blessings, and avoidance of family gatherings, to reduce the risk of Covid-19 spread.
