New national curfew exceptions

PM Prayut Chan-o-cha has issued exceptions to the nationwide curfew mandate for some groups and job sectors.

The order gives exemption to government authorities, including civil servants on duty by order of state agencies. Also exempt are the first responders such as healthcare personnel who must be available at all hours. This also extends to emergency patients and transport of individuals to be quarantined.

Services in the transport of public good such as medical equipment and supplies, consumer goods, newspapers and import export goods will now be exempt.

The order also allows petrol stations and public utilities to work during the curfew. Food delivery and garbage collection are now exempted during the curfew hours, as well as jobs that take place overnight such as security guards, fishermen, and rubber tappers.
