CCSA finalizes Phase 5 restrictions easing plan

 

   

BANGKOK(NNT)-The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will on Monday disclose details of the easing of Phase 5 restrictions, due to begin on 1st July, while stressing the need for effective disease control measures to prevent a second wave.

 

The CCSA Spokesman Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin said today the CCSA will be holding a major meeting this Monday to finalize the details of further restriction easing in Phase 5, which may allow businesses such as pubs, bars, karaoke venues, gaming centers, internet cafes, and soapy massage parlors to reopen.

 

Addressing criticism of remaining restrictions in Phase 5 being too stringent as the situation in the country has already improved, the CCSA spokesman said there is a possibility of new locally transmitted cases, albeit no such case has been reported for 34 consecutive days.

 

He pointed out an example in China, where no locally transmitted cases were reported for 50 days, however, a second wave of infections eventually came.

 

On Monday the CCSA will consider measures related to international arrivals; the State of Emergency extension by one month; the reopening of schools in border areas, and the easing of some social distancing measures on public transport. It’s likely passengers will be allowed to sit in any of the seats on metro trains which are now blocked. However, passengers must stand 1 foot away from one another, and wear face coverings.

If you don't open at least internally at 100 % after more than a month without known cases, how will you ever know if there not still silent carriers ? There is no and never has been an mass testing here.

No, but they have 1,4 billion of people. One of them may still be infected...

Restaurant/bars are open and full. No social distancing, masks or COVID. Totally different from a bar elsewhere? This government is a frightened child or they want to maintain the control they have been handed. Time to take back your freedom. Rediculous.

time to add another layer to the mask I believe..

what is a second wave?

How is it defined?

Is the objective to ensure Covid does not take hold in Thailand because if so there can be no international travel for the Kingdom until an effective vaccine is given to all travelers or it is proved that living in Thailand confers immunity.
