Thailand to lift lockdown in July and reopen to travellers

Somsak Rungsita, head of the country’s National Security Council, confirmed the move would constitute a complete reopening of the country, according to the Bangkok Post.

Stringent health and safety and sanitation measures will be enforced, including the use of face masks, heightened hand hygiene and continued social distancing.

Thailand’s government will slowly relax its coronavirus restrictions during June in phases, including lifting curbs on domestic travel, before reopening to overseas visitors from the start of July.
