COVID-19 Situation Administration finalizes Phase 5 restrictions easing plan

BANGKOK (NNT)-The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will on Monday disclose details of the easing of Phase 5 restrictions, due to begin on 1st July, while stressing the need for effective disease control measures to prevent a second wave.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has announced the decision of the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration on June 29.

The imposition of the emergency decree empowered the government to make swift responses to control the disease including the suspension and resumption of businesses and activities and changes to international travel policies which normally are subject to numerous procedures.

The prime minister said that the government did not intend to abuse the emergency decree to limit anyone’s rights but it was concerned about the way COVID-19 was spreading in other countries.

According to Gen Prayut, CCSA endorsed the 5th round of business/activity resumption to support businesses and the travel of business people and the government was worried about the hotel business.

The business types that posed high risks of disease transmission were allowed to resume to help poor and jobless people and general people should cooperate with disease control measures, he said.
