Business leaders have called on the government to come up with additional relief measures to ease the plight of people affected by the expanded lockdown measures which will take effect on Tuesday.
The government will extend the existing curfew and other tight restrictions in Greater Bangkok and the four southern border provinces until at least Aug 2, and add three more provinces to the list, it decided on Sunday.
The curfew from 9pm-4am and other restrictions have been in force since last Monday in the dark red provinces Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Pathum Thani and Nakhon Pathom as well as the southernmost provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, Songkhla and Yala.
