Popular Post webfact Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 Picture: Channel 7 Bangkok's governor Aswin Kwanmuang told the media that obstacles to opening restaurants in the Thai capital more fully had been removed. He said that from September 1st to 30th it will not be necessary that patrons will have to have been vaccinated to use restaurants. Staff will also not have to take ATK tests every 7 days. These obstacles were seen as problematic when they were mooted because only around 10% of the Thai population has been double vaxxed and restaurants complained that ATK testing would eat into their already devastated bottom line, notes ASEAN NOW. Aswin said that from Wednesday it is back to mask wearing, temperature checking and 2 meter social distancing protocols, reported Channel 7. These measures are familiar to everyone by now. He said that where 2 meter SD could not be guaranteed then screens and barriers need to be in place. Schools will also be allowed to open without restrictions from Wednesday with teaching, training and testing for large groups allowed. It remains to be seen what protocols will be in place in each school and how many will reopen but the suprise decision of the CCSA will be a mostly welcome relief to parents who have had their children at home since Songkran. Beauty salons, hairdressing shops and health massage can also reopen - the latter being foot massage only. Restaurants can open to 8 pm, the same as malls and shopping centers. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-08-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son is in his 1st year of college at KMUTT and has been online at home here in Chiang Mai since no idiot would open a deep red zone to schooling without vaccinations and some advance notice.

Popular Post georgey Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 Ridiculous to do away with the ATK tests for restaurant staff. The test kits should be provided to the restaurants by the govt either free or at cost; this would be a practical way of significantly increasing customer safety. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have to get him to BKK ASAP? Gotta call the school. KMUTT is considered a university and not a school with school children. The rules on online classes are up to the university and most likely will be unchanged. The governor did not overrule the national government. Based on the regulation published in the royal gazette (which is what makes something a law - and that's what counts, not any news reports or interviews), the national government left the rules for restaurants and schools up to the governors to decide.
