Bangkok scraps all remaining Covid-19 controls as virus downgraded

Bangkok scrapped all Covid-19 restrictions on Saturday after the virus was downgraded to a “communicable disease under surveillance” from October 1.

City Governor Chadchart Sittipunt issued a letter cancelling all Covid control measures previously imposed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).

Previous controls included the requirements to produce a negative test result to enter some venues and to self-isolate after testing positive.
