Thailand will be fully reopened by October and all Covid-19 restrictions lifted, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said on Wednesday.

Among the requirements for reopening the country was the public sector's readiness to resume normal life, said CCSA assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangson.

Active cooperation by the private sector and a good response by members of the public to the government's Covid-19 containment efforts were two other criteria, she said.

"The proposal will be discussed at a meeting of the CCSA's main committee on March 19," she said.

As part of the reopening proposal, the CCSA will consider upgrading Samut Sakhon from a maximum control area to an area on high alert for Covid-19, she said.

The province is due to receive 70,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines in three weeks and no serious side effects of vaccinations administered in the province in the first week had been found, the doctor said.
