The Public Health Ministry is preparing to propose a relaxation of measures to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration this week.
Dr Opas Karnkawinpong of the ministry's Department of Disease Control would not go into detail about the measures to be eased. However, he said Thailand was moving in line with trends elsewhere.
"The global situation of Covid-19 seems to be moving in the same direction. Many countries have started to ease measures despite spikes in daily infections," he said.
The ministry believes Thailand should no longer impose lockdowns as people need to learn to cope with Covid-19, which will reach an endemic stage soon, Dr Opas said.
Given the situation in Thailand, the number of new daily cases is still considered safe, he said.
Despite the high transmission rate of the Omicron variant, its effects are less severe than those of Delta, he said.
"We need to get people to understand that the number of daily new cases is nothing to worry about," he said.
"We've lived with the disease for two years already, so it's about time to move on together."
