BANGKOK: Thailand will allow pubs and bars to re-open on Wednesday and plans to let in some foreign travellers after recording five weeks without any community transmission of the coronavirus, a government official said.

“Alcohol consumption could reduce discipline so there will be close monitoring before customers enter venues,” Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, told a briefing on Monday. Taweesin said foreigners seeking certain types of medical treatment such as some cosmetic surgery or fertility treatment could also be allowed into the country.

The government’s coronavirus task force will recommend the extension of the emergency decree until the end of July for cabinet’s approval on Tuesday.
