CCSA spokesperson Taweesin Visanuyothin said on Wednesday (July 1) that boxing matches can be held again, but spectators will be banned from stadiums as part of Covid-19 preventive measures.
The Army-run Lumpinee Boxing Stadium spawned one of the largest clusters of Covid-19 cases in Thailand when it allowed a March 6 boxing match to go ahead despite lockdown restrictions.
The CCSA is concerned over a possible second wave of Covid-19 infections after the fifth phase of lockdown easing allowed high-risk businesses and activities to reopen on July 1.
A total of 12,000 hospital beds have been spared to support new patients, while 319,994 doses of anti-virus medicines such as favipiravir have been stockpiled in preparation for a surge in infections.
