Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thailand extends alcohol ban, health ministry says some measures could be eased Women wearing protective face masks look out for traffic before crossing a road during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, at Talad Thai wholesale market outside Bangkok, Thailand April 20, 2020. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand extended a nationwide ban on alcohol sales until April 30 as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases reached 2,792 on Monday, but the health ministry suggested some measures could soon be eased. The extension of the alcohol ban will help control the spread of the coronavirus by discouraging social gatherings, said Pongsakorn Kwanmuang, spokesman for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. All other provinces have also extended the ban to the end of the month, an Interior Ministry official said. A previous 10-day ban in Bangkok, coinciding with an annual national holiday, had been due to end on April 20. The scheduled end date had varied in other provinces. The majority of the 27 new cases reported on Monday were in Bangkok, said Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the government’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). The health ministry said it would propose to the CCSA that some measures imposed to curb the coronavirus’ spread could be eased, starting with 32 provinces in Thailand where no cases have been reported in the last two weeks. This would include re-opening markets and malls next month, but not entertainment venues. “A transition will be cautious. There will be a balance so that businesses can more forward, but things will be different. There will be no waiting in barber shops and social gatherings at restaurants,” Kumnuan Ungchusak, adviser to the Department of Disease Control said in a statement. Thailand has confirmed 47 deaths from the coronavirus. No new deaths were reported on Monday, for the third consecutive day. -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-04-20 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that logic what incentive do they have not to continue the ban? 11 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A previous 10-day ban in Bangkok, coinciding with an annual national holiday, had been due to end on April 20. The scheduled end date had varied in other provinces. Is this headline correct? A nationwide extension or Bangkok extending to 30th April in line with most other provinces? Not that it matters, however, I was under the impression that central government has not banned the sale of alcohol nationwide, each ban has been implemented by the individual provinces, case by case. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe they should extend the ban until end of this year. I wonder how many expats then decline to stay in Thailand and move back home ???? On the serious side I understand the ban as people will party at home with alcohol in groups. Like so often responsible people suffer because some people are irresponsible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Most just want a sip of beer or some wine. Denying them this pleasure is a form of sadism, at this point. Life is tough enough for most of us. Very few will be idiotic enough to gather in groups and if we do, we sit two meters apart. Pretty simple stuff, but complicated for the vast brain reserves at the army. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic say's having the highest number of infections then it will be a slow recovery for you in BKK.. others provinces with Zero infections have earned the right to slowly get things moving again.
