BANGKOK (NNT) – The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has confirmed it will provide aid to those impacted by the COVID-19 situation, even after registration for Rao Chana for those without smartphones and in special needs groups has concluded.
Minister of Social Development and Human Security Juti Krairerk, inspected registration for Rao Chana in Samut Prakan’s Bang Kachao sub-district, visiting with Jurai Sukyan, an elderly woman living with two other senior citizens and without any young relatives.

The ministry itself is to consider further aid measures for those still in need.
