PHUKET: The lockdown in the heart of Phuket Town will not be lifted until further ‘active case finding’ tests are conducted today and submitted to the Phuket Communicable Disease Committee for consideration, Phuket Town Mayor Saroj Angkanapilas has confirmed.

 

According to the order issued by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew last week, the lockdown, bound by the perimeter of Ranong Rd, Soi Phuthorn and Bangkok Rd, is due to expire at midnight tonight (11:59pm, Aug 17).

 

Under the lockdown order, issued last Wednesday (Aug 11), “No people are allowed to enter or leave the area, except for the delivery of food, cooking gas, medical equipment, as well as emergency ambulance and medical staff.”

It's one specific area of Phuket Town, that around the fresh market that's next to Robinson's department store.   All access blocked off and nobody allowed in or out.
