Inter-provincial border checkpoints to be deployed from midnight of March 25
Governors of all provinces have been ordered to strictly comply with the government’s declaration of a state of emergency throughout the Kingdom with effect from Thursday due to the escalating new coronavirus (Covid-19) situation.
Permanent secretary at the Interior Ministry, Chatchai Phromlert, issued the order on Wednesday (March 25) asking all provincial governors to coordinate with local administration offices, police and military personnel in deploying checkpoints at borders between provinces from midnight of March 25 throughout April.
The checkpoints must be staffed at all times to monitor and facilitate traffic, as well as screen travellers for any sign of infections.
