The prime minister on Tuesday ordered state officials to work from home from tomorrow until Sunday in a bid to keep PM2.5 dust levels in check.
Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa told media that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday approved the order based on weather information provided by the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD).
He said he had ordered a ministry task force to carry out a survey among the general public to assess their opinions on the severity of the problem and ascertain which measures they would back, such as traffic management or work-from-home directives, to improve air quality across the country.
