Pattaya News:
The Chonburi Governor released an emergency order this morning effective immediately for the Banglamung/Pattaya area to help control the Covid-19 coronavirus situation.
(The order specifically says Banglamung/Pattaya, and not all of Chonburi. More information is coming in on this, the majority of recent cases have been linked to Banglamung. It is UNCLEAR if it will affect all of Chonburi, but is very clear that it affects all of Banglamung and Pattaya City.)
This is due to an increasing cluster of infections stemming from an original cluster in Samut Sakhon at a seafood market that then spread through an illegal gambling establishment in Rayong, where some of the gamblers also went to Chonburi.
The brief and important details are as follows:
-Service venues closed, including bars, nightclubs, karaokes, massage parlors, etc
–Restaurants take away only. No dine in service.
-Malls, retail, etc closed except for supermarkets, drug stores, banks, hardware and construction stores, mobile phone shops and electronics. All non essential closed, like clothes, etc. Supermarkets may sell only essential items (food)..............
