The reopening is expected to come with strict health measures to prevent possible transmissions. 

Taweesin Visanuyothin, the spokesman of the Center for the COVID-19 Situation Administration, also warned that the closure may be imposed again if the infections rates go up in the next 14 days.

Provinces allowed to adjust the measures

The spokesman said provinces around the country are allowed to adjust the measures as they see fit. However, their restrictions still need to be on the same level, or more than, the government’s outline.
