Safety tips from the Thai government for Chinese New Year celebrations

[webfact]

 

The government has offered some advice to Thais of Chinese descent on how to celebrate the Chinese New Year safely amid the increasing spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.

 

They advise that people should plan ahead for the purchase of items to be used in seasonal rituals, spend as little time as possible shopping and shop only at markets which are reliable or, for increased safety, buy online and exercise extra caution during family gatherings.

 

On the day of worship, one day ahead of the Chinese New Year on February 1st, people should reduce the use of incense sticks, use short sticks or electric incense sticks and reduce the burning of ceremonial paper.
