webfact Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Restaurants, markets among 8 Bangkok venues tipped to reopen from Friday By The Nation Aswin Kwanmuang Restaurants, markets, sports centres, public parks, salons, pet clinics, medical services and golf courses in Bangkok might have a chance to reopen after the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration decided to ease its lockdown measures from May 1. Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said today (April 28) after a meeting that these eight types of venues will be able to reopen but they need to strictly follow several Public Health Ministry measures, one of which is the all-important social distancing. Restaurants have been ordered to separate seats by least 1.5 metres, sports centres are prohibited from holding team events, salons must be sanitised every two hours and pet clinics can accept only one client at a time.

The other parts of the article are more definitive: decided to ease its lockdown measures from May 1 venues will be able to reopen Restaurants have been ordered. lets hope so.

Brunolem Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 No restaurant has tables large enough to separate members of a family or group by 1.5 meter each... so one table per customer? And what about swimming pools? And domestic travel? It is very nice to reopen airports and air traffic, but not very useful if inter province travel is forbidden... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) What a joke like where it says a pet clinic can accept only one client at a time. I live in Bangkok and two times this week I took one of my pets to our vet here in Bangkok. The vet's clinic was open as normal, around 4 clients with their pets in the waiting area. Only difference in operation I saw was all the vet employees were wearing masks. Edited April 28, 2020 by Pib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeworldwide Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I dont understand the logic about allowing restaurants to open and continuing to ban booze. The booze ban was only put in place to stop people from getting together - so now if you're allowing people to get together in restaurants etc allow them to have a beer. Anyway - I think we're flirting with disaster. It won't be long till Wave 2 comes around. Pretty sure of it. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure of it. Hope I'm wrong. Even stranger is that Bangkok, which is by far the most infected province (about half of the total cases, not counting the undiscovered ones) is the first to reopen. This decision almost guarantee a second wave. All the red provinces should have remained under lockdown until their situation improved...otherwise what is the point of color coding the provinces? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
