As Phuket opens, Bangkok, 9 provinces face new restrictions

[Thaiger]

Things are changing next week in the level of severity of the rules and restrictions for Covid-19 safety and control. No, we’re not talking about loosening all the restrictions in the Phuket Sandbox reopening, we’re referring to partial lockdowns in Bangkok and 9 other provinces around Thailand to battle rising Covid-19 infections. The Royal Gazette published today the new restrictions laid out by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration for the 10 provinces. The regulations will implement partial lockdowns in Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, as well as 4 provinces in the deep south of Thailand. Starting tomorrow, the move […]

Just had a 'funny thought' - I wonder if this escalates to more Provinces around the country, will those in charge of the Phuket clusterbox use that as an excuse to shut down the clusterbox - and then claim they did everything right and it was going to succeed, but it was Covid that caused it to fail.

Many of our countries faced similar situations and by locking down certain hot spots throughout the city with the military and providing food to those areas proved more successful then locking down an entire city. All of the time these were migrant communities. Thailand needs to also move towards nationalizing some of these positions with more Thai employment and sending foreign labor home. Build a border wall!

Fair comment and thanks for your debut post.

It does not matter what the government does in Thailand or any other country, if the people will not obey the rules that are laid down to defeat this virus then it will not go away. There are too many  "it is my right" people that will not obey the rules and that is not only in Thailand. Well, it is not their right to continue to spread this virus and it needs every government in the world to take control and do something about these people because if they do not take control of these people they will not be able to take control of this virus and many more people will die because the longer it takes to control this virus the more mutations will generate which will be like a dog chasing its tail because the vaccinations will never keep up with the changing mutations
