Pattaya will be locked down to outsiders from Thursday afternoon following a rise in new coronavirus infections.
Chon Buri governor Pakkhathorn Thianchai on Wednesday approved Pattaya City’s proposal to lock down the township from 2pm on Thursday for 21 days.
It followed the number of confirmed Covid-19 infections rising to 30 in Pattaya.
Under the lockdown plan, five checkpoints will be set up on roads leading into Pattaya to strictly screen vehicles and people. Those who are not residents of Pattaya or working there will not be allowed to enter until the situation returns to normal.
People are also required to wear face masks when outdoors.
