Thailand’s Rayong province shuts down as COVID-19 infections surge

 

 

Rayong’s provincial administration has decided to close all entertainment and recreational venues, schools, beauty salons, fitness clubs, amusement parks, children’s playgrounds and public swimming pools across the province after 56 COVID-19 new cases were recorded.

 

Governor Charnna Iamsaeng told the media today that total infections in the province, related to the illegal gambling den, have increased to 148 and the virus has spread to six districts.

 

He said that, initially, the closures were confined to the Muang district, where the outbreak originated, but now the measure covers the whole province.

Is there a reason why gambling dens are not in the lost of places which have to close?

Or don't they have to close them because those gambling dens are an urban myth - because they officially don't exist.

Onemorefarang, im guessing because they are illegal gambling dens they can not formally tell them to close. Common sense should prevail,  but it is Thailand afterall

Got it in one... that's why under the "emergency decree" which has been in place since March has been ineffective.... a bit like the Governor & now ex- police commander & rent collectors.
