BANGKOK, June 11 (TNA) – State Railway of Thailand (SRT) resumed
train services on all routes on Thursday following a temporary suspension due
to the COVID-19 outbreak for nearly three months.
The resumption of train services is part of the third phase
of easing coronavirus pandemic restrictions in the country, beginning on June
1.
Passengers have flocked train stations, mostly for the
inter-provincial train services. Railway
officials have enforced health screening rules and contact tracing tools in
compliance with a COVID-19 taskforce guideline both on the trains and inside
the stations.
Passengers are required to check-in and check-out when using
the train services.
Social-distancing measures have been applied as
precautionary steps to contain the coronavirus. (TNA)
