The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will not cancel outdoor entertainment activities for the public, despite a small rise in daily infections in the capital, and will ask the Public Health Ministry to ease restrictions so the city can procure COVID-19 medications directly, without relying on the ministry.

 

Last week, Public Health Permanent Secretary Kiattibhoom Vongrachit said he would invite the city’s governor to a meeting today (Monday) with senior health officials about the possibility of cancelling or curtailing crowd-gathering activities organised by the BMA.

 

Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said that the administration has, so far, not detected a single case of a cluster of infections linked to outdoor activities, such as movie screenings and mini concerts.

Hopefully a sign of the times that others will follow

 No need to shutdown the world for it anymore (unless seeking to control populations and their activities).

Covid is not the Flu, at least get that clear in your mind.

17 covid deaths yesterday in thailand. thats big and in need of serious total complete lockdown of all life for ever and ever. 

 

With all the economic woes associated with inflation, covid costs and rising energy prices Thailand can't afford to slide back into covid induced shutdowns or restrictions. 

 

Give everyone a magic mask instead to ward off falang germs.
