The cabinet yesterday rejected a proposal by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to cancel all four public holidays in May due to coronavirus concerns.

Labour Day on May 1, Coronation Day on May 4, Visakha Bucha Day on May 6 and Phuet Mongkol on May 11 will observed as usual, government spokeswoman Narumon Pinyosinwat said.

Ms Narumon said the cabinet decided the four holidays should be observed as usual, but people should continue to stay home to help curb Covid-19 infections.
