Chonburi Governor issues new order for restaurants selling alcohol

Chonburi, Thailand-

The Chonburi Governor released a new order early this morning, January 1st, 2022, for food and beverage providers, especially those that sell alcohol in “restaurants”.

For the next two days, all staff in these venues MUST be tested daily by rapid antigen Covid-19 tests. This includes entertainers, artists, performers from New year’s eve, etc.

If the venue serves over 100 people regularly customers must have a test before entering the premises, regardless of vaccination status. This can be a rapid antigen test taken within 72 hours and can be administered on-site.

If the venue serves less than 100 people but has the appearance of being “busy” or congested antigen testing should also take place.

This order applies from New Year’s Eve including all staff who worked it through January 2nd, 2022, this weekend.
