Bangkok officers check if entertainment venues heeding closure orders
District officers in Bangkok surveyed their respective areas to see if entertainment venues were complying with the city administration's order on temporary closure of their premises.
The move follows a Cabinet resolution on March 17 to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus (Covid-19).
District officers of Min Buri, Phra Khanong and Khlong San inspected all premises in their areas and informed entrepreneurs on ways to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and follow the government and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) orders.
“Entertainment venues, such as massage parlours, theatres, gymnasiums, stadiums, and race courses must be temporarily closed from March 18 to 31,” the officials said.
The initial inspection showed that entertainment venues in each district were cooperating by closing their services.
“District officers will survey regularly until the last date,” the officials said. “Violators will face the law.”
