PHUKET: The communicable disease committee of this southern island resort province has asked people not to leave their homes from 10pm to 4am starting Tuesday in a bid to stem the Covid-19 outbreak.
Governor Narong Woonciew said this after chairing a meeting of the committee at the city hall on Monday.
He said the committee issued the stay-home request because several people still gathered in groups to drink or for other activities during the period, posing infection risks.
The request would remain in effect until further notice, he said.
