There was a lack of care for Burmese migrant workers who were laid off. Humanitarianism was weak. Now the third wave of Kovis is infected. This situation also coincides with Thai political instability. The announcement was made by the Thai Health Ministry on June 27. No migrant workers will be admitted to hospitals and clinics in Thailand. Human rights activists have objected, but no reforms have taken place.
