Thailand: Restrictions to end ‘by Oct 21’

• Thailand will be fully reopened by Oct 21 and all Covid-19 restrictions lifted, if all sectors continue to cooperate with the government in its containment efforts, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) hinted on 10 Mar 21.
• Among the major requirements for reopening the country, after more than a year of costly restrictions, was the public sector’s readiness to resume normal life, said CCSA assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangson.
• Active cooperation by the private sector and a similar good response by members of the public to the government’s Covid-19 containment efforts were two other major criteria to take into consideration before approving the full reopening of the country, she said.
• As part of the reopening proposal, the CCSA will consider upgrading Samut Sakhon from a maximum control area to an area on high alert for Covid-19, she said.
