The Thai Chamber of Commerce issued a statement on Friday offering to cooperate with the government in tackling the virus outbreak, while requesting a tax deduction for expenses incurred from health screening, treatment and vaccinations for infected employees.
Chairman Kalin Sarasin said in the statement the outbreak requires quick screening and isolation for the infected and those at risk from uninfected people.
The detection of infected people without a clear management plan will cause significant entailing problems, he said.
The chamber suggests a joint working group be established with the public and private sectors involved in the area to manage problems in the longer term.
