The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has imposed additional lockdown restrictions on businesses, public venues and activities in line with the CCSA’s latest efforts to curb the relentless surge of COVID-19 infections in the capital.

 

In its announcement, issued yesterday and which takes effect from today (Tuesday) until August 2nd, including the voluntary “stay at home” measure and the 9pm-4am curfew, the BMA has reactivated its previous announcements (32, 33, 34, 35 and 36) which close a wide range of businesses, public venues and activities.

 

Businesses and venues which can stay open under the new restrictions include:

 

• Eateries may open until 8pm for take-home and delivery services, but no dine-in service;
• Convenience stores and fresh markets may open from 4am to 8pm;
• Hotels can operate as normal, but without conference, banquet or seminar activities;
• No on-site teaching at schools, educational institutes or training sessions;
• Malls, supermarkets and community malls may stay open until 8pm, but only their supermarkets, pharmacies or facilities for state-run vaccinations and health services.

Looking outside... there are far MORE people outside today than there were last week. That "STAY HOME" message is really getting traction...

Agreed, I noticed the same thing in Saphan Kwai yesterday and today,  more foot traffic and heavier road traffic than in recent days, although less than normal times. People have got to survive, hence business goes on.
