Thai Covid Center holds major meeting, makes Omicron measure related announcements

[snoop1130]

 

The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today, January 7th, announced the readjustment of color zoning in most provinces to the controlled area or the Orange Zone and other preventive measures to curb the domestic rapid spread of the Covid-19 Omicron variant.

 

According to CCSA spokesperson Dr. Taweesilp Visanuyothin, all of the 30 provinces in the high surveillance area or the Yellow Zone will be moved to the controlled area, starting this Sunday (January 9th). The Blue (Business, Leisure, Ultimate Experience) Zone provinces, including Chonburi (Pattaya) and Bangkok, remain the same despite the significant rise of infections in most tourist pilot provinces.

 

Under the controlled area regulations, all of the 69 orange provinces are not allowed to sell and serve alcoholic beverages in restaurants. Large gatherings and exhibitions can be staged with not more than 500 attendees. Effective as of January 9th, 2022.

 

In the Blue zone provinces, alcohol is still allowed only at SHA+ and/or Thai Stop Covid qualified restaurants/eateries and can be served until 9:00 PM. (Effective as of January 9th, 2022.) “Modified” restaurants from entertainment venues (pubs, bars, karaoke lounges, etc.) can now be officially operated only if approved by the Provincial/Bangkok Communicable Disease Committee before January 15th, 2022.

 

The CCSA also agreed to extend the Work From Home scheme for government offices/departments until the end of January. Private sectors are also encouraged to comply with a similar scheme.

 

For international arrivals, the “Test&Go” tourist program remains suspended and only welcomes registered passengers who already approved before an impending cutoff date (Editor’s note: As of press time, there is debate on this date, we are seeking clarification). The government also will cancel its suspension of the arrival from eight high-risk countries in Africa as the Omicron variant has already spread across the globe, not just in a particular continent. They will be allowed to enter the country under the Sandbox program or hotel quarantine the same as arrivals from other countries, starting January 11th.

Really - I did not know I was quoting someone - Stranglers must have had some foresight with phrases like SHA+, Covid

Never go into bars anyway. I was a full time mum and pop shop beer drinker. Teetotaler now but they were good times

The cream once again rises to the top. Basically if you are in the money making areas you are allowed to spread Omicron, if you are not then you are not allowed to spread Omicron. What a bunch of morons. Omicron is unstoppable. Delta basically now a thing of the past in London.

[Paul Henry]

Absolute irrefuteable nonsense. Gatherings of up to 500 ok. With the rate of transmission of Omicron if only 10% of the 500 crowd has Omicron within one week these numbers will spread to inexcess of 3000 and these are conservative numbers. BAN all gatherings if you want to go down this failed model or open up and manage the pandemic.
