PHANG-NGA,
April 2 (TNA) – Phang-nga governor bans people from entering the province with
exceptions for essential travels such as for medical purposes, goods
transportation and state operations.
Chamroen
Thipayapongtada said that people who are allowed to enter the provinces for
essential businesses must follow the regulations of the communicable disease control
officials and report to the officials at the exit point when leaving the
province.
People whose
duties or businesses are related to public health, emergency rescue, financial
institutions, postal service and judicial processes are exempted from the
order.
The entry
ban in the southern province of Phang-nga came after the nearby tourist island
of Phuket announced the lockdown following an increase of the Covid-19 cases
there, mainly found linking to entertainment venues.
Phang-nga
governor also ordered closure of convenience stores and similar shops from 10
pm.-4am. as well as hotels, resorts and other accommodations to contain the
spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The new
measures will be put into effect on April 4 until the Covid-19 situation eases.
