What precautions should be taken in Thailand amidst the rising COVID-19 cases?

Michael **************

I caught something just before I left to come back home for awhile. It was a nagging cough that finally turned to a low fever and being tired. Kinda like a bad cold. I did test myself and it showed Covid. Took a total of about 4 weeks to get rid of the cough.
