Thailand's Center for Covid Situation Administration or CCSA has begged restaurants mounting a civil disobedience campaign not to break the law.
The latest regulations issued at the weekend have infuriated restaurant owners already battered by a year and a half of the pandemic. They claim they have public support.
Yesterday Channel 7 reported the National Security Council director and CCSA chief Gen Natthaphol Nakphanich as calling for cooperation and not to open for in-house dining.
He reiterated that the government was considering help measures for restaurants and that reviews will take place every 15 days amid the tension.
He stood by the data, he claimed, that showed the spread of Covid being linked to restaurant gatherings and the consumption of alcohol.
