As community spread raises concerns, the government has prolonged Covid-19 limitations and preventative measures for another 15 days, with some harsher measures currently in place.

On Tuesday, the Prime Minister's Office issued a notification extending Covid-19 restrictions at the national level, forbidding meetings, conferences, and conventional activities for groups of more than 20 individuals.

 

Massage parlors, beauty salons, night markets, food gardens, and tourism sites in locations where Covid-19 has spread throughout the community must remain closed, according to the government's notice.

 

Residents of Vientiane Capital were confused when stricter restrictions were imposed on the same day in the nation's capital.

The Covid Taskforce, which usually broadcasts new laws on its Facebook channel, Center of Information and Education for Health, made no comment yesterday.

 

Meanwhile, entertainment venues, movies, spas, karaoke bars, pubs, internet cafes, snooker halls, and casinos must remain closed, according to a fresh notification from the Prime Minister's Office.

 

Massage parlors, spas, night markets, food gardens, and tourist attractions must all close.

 

Indoor and outdoor fitness centers, as well as stadiums, must close, and public outdoor activity is prohibited.

 

At all times, parties and private meetings of any kind are absolutely prohibited.

 

The notice will be in effect from Tuesday to September 15th.
