Rayong records 56 new cases as schools, malls closed

By The Nation

 

 

Rayong recorded 56 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, as schools and pubs in the eastern province were ordered to shut.

 

Rayong’s outbreak now totals 148 and has spread to six districts – Muang district (116 cases), Klaeng (3), Ban Khai (4), Ban Chang (1), Khao Chamao (2), and Nikhom Phatthana (2), said Rayong governor Channa Iamsaeng.

 

Meanwhile, test results for 20 suspected cases are pending.

 

The Muang district city centre has been placed in the red zone (highly controlled status) while the four districts of Ban Chang, Nikhom Phatthana, Ban Khai, and Klaeng are under strict controls.

 

The list of venues ordered closed in the province includes schools, pubs, bars, entertainment venues, child development centre, day-care for both children and the elderly, massage shops, internet cafes, beauty clinics, parks, libraries, tattoo shops, cinemas, water parks, playgrounds, and shopping malls (except market zones).

 

The sale of alcohol has been banned in restaurants, which are closed except for take-outs/delivery.

 

Banks, government offices, and mobile phone shops can open as normal.

 

Restrictions also include a ban on transporting migrant workers, while Thai workers have been urged to refrain from returning to their hometowns. New workers entering the province face 14 days in quarantine.

56 in Rayong already...jeez, it's going to erupt early Jan. Obviously the gov are too scared to call a nation wide lockdown right now as so many people have NY travel plans and have made reservations so there will be a huge uproar, but they'll have no choice when the 2nd wave hits like a tsunami in another week or two.
