Mask mandate cancellation and hours extension of entertainment venues to be considered by Thailand’s National Covid-19 Center next week

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has initially introduced a proposal for the cancellation of the mask mandate to the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). The proposal will be considered at the general meeting next week, June 17th, CCSA Director Suphot Malaniyom told the press today, June 10th.

 

General Suphot said that the BMA and related government agencies will discuss the potential of the removal of the masks in the capital, mainly considering regulations, requirements, and the safety of the people. The Department of Health was assigned to consider and conclude the details before proposing to the CCSA committee at the general meeting next week. It is unclear if any proposal of lifting mask mandates, currently the rule for all public areas in Thailand, would only be for Bangkok or if it would be extended to other areas.

 

TPN notes that the proposal of lifting the mask mandates came only shortly after Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul stated that no order or announcement would take place, preferring it to be a natural process. However, many business and tourism providers have preferred clear directions to avoid potential problems.

History has proved them to be a long time coming.

The masks must go. They are not necessary, at this point. They scare people and it is impossible to get back to anything close to normal. Let them go! Especially outdoors!
