National alcohol ban to be lifted from Sunday, May 3

In a surprise turn-around, after extending the national alcohol ban from yesterday for another month, the CSSA have announced that they are revoking the national ban on alcohol sales from this Sunday.

But the provisions say that the alcohol can only be bought and must be taken away for consumption at home. You may not consume alcohol at restaurants. There will be further clarification in the next day about precise details.

But we knew you’d want to know 🙂

The revocation of the alcohol sales ban coincides with two bookend public holidays, one today (Labour Day) and the other on Monday (anniversary of Rama X coronation), making this a long weekend that would have been one of the biggest holiday weekends of the year if not for the Covid-19 situation.

It has been announced in the Royal Gazette.
