Thailand’s Land Transport Department has suspended all public transport in an out of Phuket, Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, due to the rapid spread of Covid-19. The four provinces are in the south of Thailand.

The department’s director-general, Chirut Visarnchit, says that the suspension includes under-provincial and chartered services, but public transport to the other destinations is unaffected, but certain measures have been imposed, including temperature checks before boarding.

“Any passenger found to have a temperature above 37.5C will be prevented from boarding and passengers will be seated at least 1 metre from each other.”

“Everyone on these buses, including the crew, will be required to wear face masks.”

“Passengers will be asked to complete a form about their health. The forms will be sent to provincial land transport offices in each province.”
