The patient, who has been confirmed as a border official, visited a number of locations in the city, including Market Village and Tesco Lotus, despite awaiting test results. She later tested positive. The order announced on Tuesday appears to replicate an order announced by the governor of Chonburi late on Monday. *list of closures updated to clarify schools with less than 120 pupils. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-01-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the rule makers all tea totallers, or quietly swilling away out of sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I hope the Thailand actions, stay as is, and even tho people will get vaccines eventually, I believe it will be another year before we can take off the masks and quit the social distancing and other cautions. This corona virus will affect us for another one or two moire years at least. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
