Since May, 37 clusters have been found in Bangkok camps.<\/p>\n<p>Sites in some provinces near Bangkok and four in the south near Malaysia will also be closed from next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s implement this for a month. Things should improve then,\u201d Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>The labour ministry will compensate for the costs of halting construction projects, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Labour minister Suchart Chomklin said police will inspect camps for safety and make sure no one leaves, while authorities aim to test everyone inside.
