The Public Health Ministry is seeking approval from the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to allow restaurants to reopen to fully vaccinated diners as new infections have declined in the past few days.
“The Covid-19 situation appears to be improving. Certain restrictions should therefore be lifted,” said Kiattiphum Wongrajit, permanent secretary for public health, on Tuesday.
He made the remarks after Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met with representatives from nine clusters of businesses that were ordered to close as infections across 29 provinces started to climb.
