The government has urged operators of nightlife outlets to follow precautions against Covid-19 strictly after they reopen for business next week.
Last Friday, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) approved the reopening of such venues in 31 provinces from June 1 but they will still be required to close at midnight.
They include pubs, bars, karaoke bars, massage parlours and other nightspots.
The 31 provinces, with 14 reclassified as green zones in the CCSA's colour-coded Covid-19 situation zoning and 17 recognised as blue zones, will still be required to follow the Covid-free setting measures set by the Ministry of Public Health.
Also last Friday, the CCSA decided to scrap the Thai Pass requirement for Thai nationals returning from abroad by air from June 1.
Only night entertainment venues in the 31 provinces will be allowed to reopen. They must also refrain from holding promotional activities.
