PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has declined to confirm or deny whether or not the current COVID restrictions across the island and for entering Phuket will be eased come next Monday (Aug 16), when the current order enforcing the restrictions is set to expire.

“We have been asked whether the measure to refuse all domestic arrivals [except those with essential reason] will remain in effect after Aug 16. I would like to explain that we are considering the infection situation on the island, and throughout the country, every day,” Governor Narong said during a live broadcast this morning (Aug 10).

“We need to have a meeting first. A couple of days before the day, we will be able to tell the press about our conclusion,” he said.
