The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesman Taweesilp Visanuyothin said authorities still plan to keep greater Bangkok a red zone, for maximum Covid-19 control, but restrictions on businesses and activities could be eased in other areas next month. Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani should remain maximum control zones because of their high numbers of new coronavirus cases. Samut Sakhon will remain a maximum and strict control zone or "dark red zone". In a maximum control zone, pubs, bars and karaoke parlours must remain closed. Schools in all areas across the country except Samut Sakhon are allowed to reopen but with preventive measures in place such as alternate day school schedules, social distancing and online learning.
