Khao Kheow zoo closed until January 31

The zoo's assistant director, Anupong Anon, said on Saturday that the move was in response to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration adding Chonburi to the list of red-coded provinces where threat of infection is seen as high.

"The zoo has been closed until January 31 or until a change is made, to ensure tourists' safety," he said.

He added that the zoo had implemented preventive measures, such as providing cleaning areas and setting up hand sanitising points to win the confidence of tourists.
