The Office of the Private Education Commission (Opec) has announced the closure of more than 100 schools in Bangkok and Samut Sakhon due to the recent spike in Covid-19 cases.
Opec secretary-general Attapol Truektrong said around 100 private schools in Bangkok, Samut Sakhon and several nearby provinces have closed because of the increasing number of confirmed cases linked to a seafood market in Samut Sakhon.
Private schools are allowed to close or remain open at their discretion, the secretary-general said.
A number of other schools have begun allowing at-risk students and staff to work from home from Dec 21 to Jan 3.
