The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) supports the state plan to register all migrant workers and better manage their data records in response to the surge of Covid-19 infections among foreign workers.
The move is part of efforts to cope with illegal entry of foreign workers into Thailand amid a growing worry over the spread of the coronavirus. It s a good idea for the government to regulate and register all migrant workers in Thailand, said FTI vice-chairman Kriangkrai Tiannukul. This will help contain the pandemic and solve the problem of illegal migrant workers.
