The CCSA’s panel considering the easing of lockdown restrictions has agreed to allow spectators to attend sports events and to allow Chinese traders to enter Thailand to buy Thai fruit for export.

 

The panel’s chairman, General Somsak Rungsita, who is also Secretary-General of the National Security Council, said Friday that his panel has agreed, in principle, that spectators will be allowed to attend all sporting events, but the measures to be applied may differ, depending on whether the sports are held indoors or outdoors.

 

He said that the panel will wait to receive more details, about the different measures, and the limitations of the number of spectators for each sports event, from the Sports Authority of Thailand.

But surely they will be carrying the vaccine.................MONEY!

BS. They can do the business deals via conference video calls and by having a representative here. They do not need to come here.

 

Sport spectators? This is another BS. First let the foreign retiree in back to their homes. do not let anyone in without a quarantine, or just let everyone in and take the chance.

Allow sporting event spectators???? Seriously....no! How will you know where they are and where they intend to go? Buy a ticket to see a football match and then you can go wherever you want? Do they have to quarantine? This is absolute madness.

No this does not mean you can come into Thailand to watch sports. Its a seperated comment from allowing fruit traders into Thailand. There were quite a few spectator sports that still were not allowed.

Indeed as long as they go to quarantine its ok. I do wonder if that will happen because these guys wont come through the airport. Its a risk. But if they can handle this with 14 days quarantine its a good thing to make the economy run again.

Yes but that will give the authorities time to process the work permits for trading fruit........

So tell me how do you check/test the quality of the fruit via video conferencing?

[Redline]

Can they run in marathons?

Allowing people to attend sporting events is virtually no risk.  There was a concert recently were several thousand people attended, no social distancing and very few wearing masks.  All attendees were tested, all results were negative.

Completely unnecessary, fruit can be purchased via an agent acting on behalf of Chinese buyers..

KEEP THE BORDERS CLOSED.

Will they have to have the $100,000 Insurance cover like all other 'visitors' ?

At their own expense of course.

[seajae]

shows the desperation of the thai govt to get extra cash into the country, china has just had a bubonic plague infected person die, they have had heaps of covid problems rising up again and this idiot wants to let them back into Thailand to infect the country, shows exactly how pathetic this govt is to even think of allowing them in without all the current requirements for anyone entering the country before people that actually live in Thailand or have family here

Why not other international fruit traders?????

[jimmjam]

Its highly unlikely they would be made to do 14 day quarantine.

[Grumpy John]

O dear,  it seems like rules are made to be broken even by the people that make the rules.   So,  when would you like a serve of the plague...sooner or later.  ????
