Chonburi “restaurant” operators or entrepreneurs are also responsible for providing ATK (Rapid antigen Covid-19) test kits for customers to test before entering “restaurants” or customers must provide negative results of the Covid-19 test 72 hours before using the service. This rule is primarily aimed at venues that were formerly entertainment venues that have temporarily become “restaurants” with the above certifications and venues where the focus is alcohol over food. Staff must also be tested daily, until further notice.

Entertainment venues, including bars, pubs, nightclubs, gogos, karaoke lounges, and other similar businesses, remain legally close until further notice. Only modified restaurants with the above certifications that are approved by the authorities are allowed to be operated.

If any venues were found to violate one of the above, they would be ordered for temporary closure by the provincial Communicable Disease Committee.
