[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.6″ hover_enabled=”0″]Phase 2 easing of lockdown: wholesale markets, convention centers, and swimming pools will be allowed to reopen. However, malls and shopping centers will have to close at 8pm. Cinemas, gymnasiums, boxing stadiums, and amusement parks will remain closed. On the other hand, fitness centers will be allowed to reopen with some activities. No alcohol beverages are allowed to be consumed at restaurants still. Alcohol is only available for take-away purchases. The new government tracking app, called “Thai Chana”, launched last Friday. It will track those who shop at retail venues such as malls, but it is expected to be used at other shops as well. Any shop can use this app, even street vendors. Customers are expected to use this app at these shopping premises. The “Thai Chana app will help customers know if their targeted shops are vacant enough to welcome them inside. According to Dr. Taweesilp, this app would account for 70-80% of Thailand’s population that use mobile phones. This app will help the government track people especially those in close contact. Depending on how effective it is will help determine if more businesses can open up. However, for young children and elderly who don’t use mobile phones, they will register manually. As stated by Dr. Polawat Witoolkollachit, customers could use the app to tell the government if measures were followed correctly by the shop(s) and also customers ‘ privacy would be protected with only the Disease Control Department having access to customers ‘ information. Lastly, those who come in close contact with a person who is found to be infected will be called within the hour to come in for testing. More details about downloading the app and what personal information will be disclosed has yet to be released. New Curfew will start 1 hour later than usual and will run from 11pm – 4am.
