Chonburi, Thailand-

  The Chonburi Communicable Disease Committee, led by Governor Phakkhrathon Thianchai, released a set of guidelines last night around universal prevention to stop Covid-19.

These guidelines immediately followed the release of easing of restrictions which takes effect from tomorrow, September 1st. You can read more about these guidelines by clicking on this text here.

TPN media notes that these are "guidelines" and "requests for cooperation" and NOT firm enforced rules or orders. However, we have provided them as they show that despite the easing of rules that Chonburi officials remain concerned about the Covid-19 situation in the province which is still recording hundreds of cases a day, with 745 new cases recorded today alone.

  Guidelines:

  1.  Even with the easing of restrictions, one should leave the house only when necessary.

  2.  Those over 60-years-old or with chronic illnesses, especially if not yet vaccinated against Covid-19, should avoid going out at all unless it is an absolutely necessary reason.

  3.  Maintain a distance of 1-2 meters from people in public places if going out.

  4. Wear two masks at all times when going out or when inside the house with more than two people. 

  5. Avoid touching your mask or face.

  6.  Wash your hands often with soap or alcohol gel every time before eating, after using the bathroom, coughing, sneezing, or touching shared objects

  7.  Clean and disinfect frequently used shared equipment in your home environment.

  8.  Separate personal belongings of all kinds, should not be shared with others.

  9.  Choose hot or freshly prepared food, should still avoid eating with others despite easing of restaurants, if eating with others do not share utensils.

  10.  If you had close contact with a previously confirmed patient either conduct a rapid antigen test or have an RT-PCR test completed at a hospital.
