Meanwhile, the next school term, scheduled to kick off again next month, could be deferred until June due to the current situation. Thai Education Minister Treenuch Thienthong says the proposed postponement will be discussed with the Office of the Basic Education Commission today.

The Ministry of Interior has just updated their ‘List of Provinces with Entry Restrictions’ bringing the new total to 47. The message from the government is that if you’re in the red zone you should try and stay. At least not leave your province.
