THREAD: #Thailand is mulling plans for "phase 4" of relaxations of #COVID19 restrictions and re-openings of businesses and activities aimed for June 15.

These places were deemed "high-risk", hence they why come last. Details in the next tweets.

Draft plan of relaxations of #COVID19 restrictions in "phase 4" (potentially on June 15)

- International schools can reopen already
- Restaurants, food courts, hotel can serve alcohol
- Pubs, bars, karaoke venues are still NOT allowed to serve alcohol

(cont.)

(cont.)
- daycare facilities (e.g. kindergarten) can reopen
- events (incl. sports), conferences, concerts can take place (but with safe distancing)

(cont.)
- spas, onsen, "baht houses", "saunas", herbal compressions can offer services again (with safe distancing)
- theme parks, playgrounds, public swimming pools can reopen (but ball pits can’t)
- all sports, but competitions w/o spectators

All these measures and points for "phase 4" are still part of a DRAFT PLAN, final decisions will be on FRIDAY - so as of now, nothing is official yet.

Q: Why will restaurants be allowed to sell alcohol, but bars, pubs etc. have to remain closed?

A: These are high-risk areas. And people don't hang out at restaurants as long as in bars.

(Yeah, this will not make a lot of people happy…)
