With the further spread of the second wave of pandemic in Thailand, the Thai government has recently taken further pandemic prevention measures against five provinces in Thailand with severe pandemic, namely, Samunshakhorn, Chunburi, Luoyong, Tsim Zhuwen and Dalat.

For screening of relevant personnel and vehicles entering and leaving the above five prefectures, if there are indeed people who need to enter and leave the above areas, they must apply to the local authorities before passing through after approval.

To strengthen the preventive measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, QR code applications are also used to track and manage the movement of people.

Crack down on underground casinos that cause the spread of the pandemic and severely punish officials who mismanage foreign workers.

According to Thailand’s “Emergency Ordinance” issued in 2005, in the more than five prefectures with severe pandemic, migrants who deliberately conceal or misrepresent their itinerary will be sentenced to up to two years’ imprisonment and a fine of not exceeding 40,000 Thai tai (about 1300$) or both.
