I løpet av 2 til 3 uker vil det endelig bli slutt på påbud om bruk av ansiktsmaske de fleste steder i Thailand. Dette vil nok være med på å gjøre landet mer attraktivt for turister som har holdt tilbake da mange ikke akkurat synes det å reise til varme land med påbud om ansiktsmaske ikke er ønsket.
Thailand’s face mask rules to be scrapped soon
Thailand’s face mask rules to be scrapped soon
In two or three weeks, those in Thailand will no longer have to worry about wearing a face mask in most places. According to The Bangkok Post, the Ministry of Public Health will soon cancel such mask-wearing regulations and accompanying fines for breaking such rules. The National Communicable Disease Committee has reportedly already completed a draft announcement that reflects the falling coronavirus risks in the country.
The public health minister must endorse the announcement. Once endorsed, it will be published in the Royal Gazette. Face mask-wearing has been mandatory for the past two years as part of the measures to limit the spread of Covid-19. Under the order, offenders would be fined 6,000 baht with repeat offenders being fined up to 20,000 baht for not wearing masks.
The government also recently cancelled the Emergency Decree on October 1, which has been in effect since the pandemic started. The controversial decree was criticised by many who say it gave the prime minister sweeping powers.
