Industry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit has given assurances that oxygen supplies for Covid-19 sufferers will not run short with production capacity in excess of 1,800 tonnes a day more than enough to meet demand.
Mr Suriya was addressing public concerns as figures showed daily cases continuing to spiral on Monday.
He said he had instructed the Department of Industrial Works (DIW) to ask the Federation of Thai Industries, the Siam Industrial Gases Association, gas filling plants and manufacturers of gas cylinders about their production capacity. I have realised that people are concerned about the situation. I can assure you that there is no need to worry because the producers have confirmed that the capacity of each factory is enough to meet people s needs, he said.
