Suphan Buri puts Song Pee Nong district under lockdown until Jan 3
Suphan Buri’s Song Pee Nong district has been put under lockdown until January 3 in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Currently, there are seven Covid-19 cases in the province, with a seven-month-old girl being the youngest.
Suphan Buri governor Natthaphat Suwanprateep said this move was approved by the province's centre for disease control because the number of new patients is likely to increase.
He said the province has implemented the following measures to contain the spread of the disease in Song Pee Nong district:
• People can only leave the district if absolutely necessary and are required to wear a face mask while outside.
• No parties are allowed, while organisers of ceremonies like ordination, weddings, funerals or other religious gatherings must strictly follow the Culture Ministry's guidelines.
• Stores are barred from selling alcoholic drinks, and food can only be sold on a take-home basis.
• Sports fields, fitness centres, flea markets, amusement parks, gaming centres, internet cafes, snooker shops, amulet markets, massage shops, theatres, karaoke shops, pubs, bars, stadiums, swimming pools, nurseries, nursing homes, schools and tutorial schools must be closed.
