Starting Oct 1, only those who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a negative test result will be allowed to dine-in at restaurants in "dark red" provinces.
According to the Health Department, the move is part of the government's push to allow businesses to reopen while the number of Covid-19 cases continues to increase.
Customers will be required to fill in a form detailing their infection risk through the government's "Thai Save Thai" app before entering 'high-risk' venues, which include restaurants, barber shops and hair salons, beauty clinics and spas.
In addition, they will be asked to show their vaccination certificate -- or a negative Covid-19 antigen test result, taken no longer than a week prior -- before entering the premises. Former patients must show records which showed that they have recovered.
Staff must be fully vaccinated, follow social distancing rules and be screened for Covid-19 weekly.
