Daily News ‘ speculated ‘ that the Thai government could be ready to lift some restrictions on daily life when they meet to discuss the Covid-19 situation on Monday.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha and his team of advisors will be reviewing the effectiveness of measures introduced under the emergency decree to limit spread of the coronavirus.

But what will be allowed in the immediate future is on the table – this includes activities that can be safely carried out according to social distancing.

The media said that restrictions on the opening of non-air conditioned restaurants, coffee shops, noodle shops and salons could be lifted though these would be accompanied by tables and chairs being spaced apart and be subject to the ready availability of things like hand gels.

When it comes to sports activities and exercise for the people it is likely that non-contact sports where large groups do not gather to play could be allowed.

This might include tennis, golf and badminton for example.

The media said that whatever decision is taken people can be sure that the regulations will be strictly enforced.
