Govt explains delay in reopening entertainment venuesEntertainment venues in Ekamai and Thong Lor areas of Bangkok were closed in early April to help contain the spread of Covid-19. Apisamai Srirangson, a spokeswoman for the CCSA, admitted on Friday that when the government postponed their reopening from December to Jan 16 the operators of entertainment venues were bitterly disappointed. Covid-19 vaccination of staff of entertainment venues was among the criteria of the SHA+ standard. Visitors would look for such signs at entertainment venues, Dr Apisamai said. Entertainment venues have been ordered closed since early April after some of them were found to be the centre of Covid-19 outbreaks.
