"relaxation"

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has approved Bangkoks proposal to relax disease control measures for five types of public places in Bangkok.

Delhi has been under strict lockdown since April 19 and with continuous decline in daily cases.

A senior medical expert has expressed concern over relaxation in containment measures coming into effect from Monday despite the high number of daily cases.

The government has allowed conditional relaxation in wearing a face mask during meetings.

Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn will ask the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to allow nationals of more than 70 medium-risk countries – including China, India, Germany and Italy – to enter Thailand from April 1.

Restaurants and pubs will be allowed to serve alcohol until 11pm, under a relaxation of restrictions ordered at a Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) meeting chaired by PM Prayut Chan-o-cha today.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration will consider lifting some restrictions on “red-zone” provinces now that the number of new cases is dropping.

Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang on Saturday evening allowed 37 types of venues in the province to reopen after they had been ordered to close in the aftermath of the second Covid-19 wave.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) approved new criteria and colour coding for provinces as the situation has improved in some areas, spokesman Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin said on Friday.

Existing virus-related restrictions on educational institutions, public transport and sporting events will be lifted from tomorrow (August 13), the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration announced today.

The government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and various ministries will start discussions on Friday on further relaxation of the lockdown measures, CCSA spokesman Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin said.

In response to a question raised during the daily Covid-19 conference on Friday (June 26), Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said foreign film crews may be allowed to enter Thailand for short periods. However, he said, permission for film crew wanting to work here for more than a month is still under discussion.
