PHUKET: Phuket Vice Governor Pichet Panapong has urged all people in Phuket to keep their guard up and practice all the COVID-19 protection measures to help prevent another outbreak on the island, especially following the new relaxation measures rolled out across the island.

Vice Governor Pichet made his plea yesterday (Jan 26) while announcing the new order for the COVID-19 protection-measure regulations now in place, which repealed the midnight closing for all entertainment venues and allowed restaurants to resume selling alcohol.

It also came after the provincial government earlier this week lifted the mandatory 14-day quarantine for all people arriving from Bangkok.
