#COVID19: Bangkok bans alcohol sale for 10 days
The ban on all alcohol sales in the Thai capital of Bangkok starts today for 10 days. This is to curb social gatherings that could spread COVID-19. Alcohol is now banned for about 16 million people in Thailand as several others provinces have already imposed curbs. A nationwide night time curfew runs daily from 10pm to 4am. Thailand as a whole is under a state of emergency and partial lockdown through April. As of Thursday, Thailand confirmed 2,423 COVID-19 cases, with 32 fatalities. More than half the cases are in Bangkok, where a mobile testing system is being rolled out.
