Surin is poised to be the first province to classify the spread of Covid-19 as an endemic. It wants to do so by Friday, three months ahead of the national target, according to local authorities.
Provincial governor Suwongpong Kitipattharapiboon said Surin is ready to be the first to do so as residents have cooperated well in maintaining public health safety under the Public Health Ministry's Covid-free setting guidelines.
The provincial PR office on Sunday announced on Facebook that Surin is ready to shift the status of Covid-19 to an endemic starting on April 1.
