Due to the situation of the COVID-19 outbreak in Bangkok, the Thai Government had announced the measures to reduce the risks of further spreading of COVID-19 in high risk areas by temporarily closed some daily and occasional public venues. Government agencies had reconsidered work hours and work-from-home arrangements. The Thai Ministry of Public Health also recommended the social distance measure to reduce the risk.

In order to reduce the risk of the staff members of the APT to be exposed to the virus while allowing the regular operations to continue in the best possible way, APT Secretariat started implementing the partial work-from-home measure from 23 March 2020. APT staff members took turn working at the office for 2 days a week.

However, on 25 March 2020, the Royal Thai Government had declared an Emergency Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situation to take effect on 26 March to 30 April 2020. Considering such circumstances, APT Secretariat has implemented full Work-from-Home measure since 25 March 2020.

During this period, APT Secretariat continues its operation to serve the members. APT members could contact APT Secretariat in regular manner. Given the limited environment, the response from APT Secretariat might take some more time than usual.
