Events to boost morale in RayongThe Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) yesterday reassured the public that Rayong is returning to normality, saying most schools can re-open tomorrow and sporting events will be held in August. He said the government and local authorities are also preparing various events to reassure concerned residents. He said Rayong officials have proposed other events to help boost confidence among locals, including a cycling tour on a coastal route and an online beach concert. He said the number of tourists drastically declined following news of the infected Egyptian airman, noting the province's hotel occupancy rate was 80% every year. The rehabilitation of Rayong might serve as an example for other provinces if it is successful, Dr Taweesilp said.
