Chonburi –

These three orders were posted by the Chonburi Public Relations office tonight (August 2^nd). The three orders conclude, "Many Covid -19 confirmed cases were being found at malls and local companies."

"In order to control the spread of the virus, the Chonburi communicable disease committee has ordered the following temporary rules and closure of places below."

"Restaurants in community malls or in other similar places can open until 8:00 P.M. and for food delivery service ONLY. Customers are NOT allowed to buy and take away from restaurants in malls or department stores by themselves from tomorrow (August 3rd) until further notice. Storefronts are not to open, and only delivery drivers should be interacting with staff from restaurants in these locations."

This order coincides with direction from the National Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, or CCSA, but will allow previously closed restaurants in malls like Central Festival and Terminal 21 to open for delivery if they choose.

Restaurants that are considered stand-alone and not located in a mall, department store, or shopping center may still offer take-away, if they choose.
