Virus fears reigniteJust last week, the situation looked promising as Thailand had no new Covid-19 case resulting from local transmissions for over 50 days. Thais have been observing strict health control measures to contain Covid-19 spread but we finally fell victim to those without discipline. All 127 schools in the province closed again to stop the potential spread of the virus after they had just started a new semester earlier this month. Scores have cancelled their bookings on Koh Samet for the long holiday at the end of the month, according to Sarinthip Thapmongkolsap, chairwoman of the Samet Tourism Association. Rayong has two weeks to contain the spread of Covid-19 before it returns to normal again.
