Entertainment venues in three districts of Bangkok will be closed from April 6 to 19 to contain the spread of Covid-19, Governor Aswin Kwanmuang announced Monday.
The decision to temporarily close the locations in Klong Toey, Watthana and Bang Khae was taken Monday evening by the Bangkok communicable disease commission. “If the virus spreads to other districts, the catering industry will also be closed there. "We are closely monitoring the situation," the governor said. The closure affects 196 entertainment venues across the three districts, he added.
The health ministry also wants tighter restrictions on other dining and entertainment venues in Bangkok and surrounding provinces ahead of next week's Songkran holiday after new clusters of infections were discovered in entertainment venues in the capital.
In most of the country, 53 of the 77 provinces, no special requirements apply (green zone). The strictest requirements apply in five provinces, including Bangkok, the so-called maximum control zones. The closing time of restaurants and nightclubs has been brought forward from 23 pm to 21 pm, and the sale of alcohol is prohibited.
