All 25,000 Suvarnabhumi airport staff are expected to get their fourth Covid-19 vaccine shots by the end of next month as Thailand resumes its "Test & Go" scheme on Feb 1.

Airport director Kittipong Kittikachorn said staff are also being randomly tested weekly for Covid-19 using antigen test kits to build confidence among new arrivals.

From Nov 1 -- when the country first reopened to foreign arrivals -- until Saturday, Suvarnabhumi airport admitted a total of 381,871 people from other countries.

The airport has also prepared taxis and limousines with SHA Plus certificates to take passengers under the Thailand Pass programme to their hotels in case the hotels do not have enough transport, he said.

Meanwhile, the Disease Control Department has proposed an action plan to deal with Covid-19 as an endemic as opposed to a pandemic, and it is being considered by the national communicable disease committee.

The Public Health Ministry wants to classify the spread of Covid-19 as an endemic this year.
