The Marine Office of Chonburi is also ordered to issue guidelines for all boat operators, and the District Chief of Si Chang Island must issue screening guidelines for travel on the island.

Travel restrictions for Si Chang Island were first introduced on January 6^th, just two days after the esteemed governor confirmed that NO LOCKDOWN would be imposed.

No new COVID-19 infections were recorded in Chonburi today, leaving the cumulative number of cases at 647, with 525 recoveries, 121 still being treated in hospitals and one COVID-19 related fatality.

Meanwhile, the provincial health office of Chonburi said that, 'while the number of infections has decreased, the lack of new infections today does not mean that there will not be more.'

This sort of thing can be said, and used to impose life restrictions, for all time if required.

'There might not be a snake in your roof, but that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. So we have to burn down your house and make sure that never happens. To keep your family safe.'
