The Ministry of Labour has brought consumer goods donated from the private sector and kind people to give to the employees in the worker camps. It is a supplementary measure and the Ministry of Labour’s request for employers to provide workers with three meals, whereas the Ministry of Labour will support consumer goods.

“Today, Labour Minister Mr. Suchart Chomklin assigned me to bring consumer goods donated to the Ministry of Labour by the private sector. The goods are forwarded to charitable organizations to help people affected by COVID-19, through the Fueng Fah Center, Team Help, and Khun Saowaluk Bangkoknoi, from Krua Klang Trok Kao Mai, to help each other in times of need.
